On the court record
The firm's record is a window into Malaysian admiralty practice, showing how the High Court handles vessel arrests, bareboat charterparty disputes and marine-cargo and hull-insurance claims.
T S Oon & Partners appears in the corpus as counsel in admiralty and marine-insurance litigation, a specialised field argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) in its admiralty jurisdiction.
A substantial part of the firm's reported work concerns admiralty actions in personam and in rem. In a marine-insurance dispute the firm acted for the defendant insurer where Sunrise Entity Sdn Bhd claimed under a marine hull and machinery policy issued for its vessel, and the court examined whether the loss was proximately caused by fire, an insured peril, whether there had been wilful misconduct or a want of due diligence by the assured, and whether a breach of warranty had occurred. In separate cargo litigation the firm again acted for the defendant where a consignee alleged breach of contractual and bailment duties after cargo was damaged during a voyage in a typhoon, raising the duty of good seamanship, whether deck cargo was carried at the shipper's sole risk, the exclusion clauses in the bill of lading and the perils-of-the-sea defence.
The firm also appeared in vessel-arrest proceedings. Acting for plaintiffs including Eletson Holdings Inc and related maritime entities, and separately OCM Maritime Gas 3 LLC, the firm was engaged where the court considered applications to set aside a warrant of arrest, whether a bareboat charterparty had been terminated, whether the plaintiffs had a right to possession of the vessel, and the duty of full disclosure of a charterparty's termination in an arrest affidavit under Order 70 rule 4(6)(b) of the Rules of Court 2012.
A further matter, involving CIP Group Sdn Bhd, concerned an interlocutory application to strike out affidavits filed by a proposed intervener under Order 32 rule 13(2)(a), including questions of attestation and delay. The firm's record is a coherent shipping and marine-insurance practice, spanning both the possessory and proprietary questions that arise on a vessel arrest and the coverage disputes that follow a casualty at sea, and it reflects a familiarity with the specialised admiralty procedure of the High Court that few general-practice firms maintain.
