Adlin binti Abdul Majid

On the judicial record

A commercial High Court judge whose reported corpus centres on trademark, company-law and cross-border enforcement disputes, with money-laundering forfeiture among the criminal work.

Justice Adlin binti Abdul Majid sits in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions in this corpus are strongly commercial, with intellectual property, company law and civil procedure prominent. Trademark law is a distinct strand: decisions address the invalidation of a registered trademark under sections 47 and 53 of the Trademarks Act 2019 and whether the defendants were aggrieved persons, and infringement under section 38, including whether marks were similar, whether there was a likelihood of confusion, and whether the doctrine of exhaustion of rights applied.

Company-law disputes feature, including the requisitioning of an extraordinary general meeting and whether it was lawful to convene it under an 'any other items' provision of a board meeting, and a shareholders'-agreement dispute over the validity of a default notice and default sale notice where a shareholder was alleged to have become insolvent. Civil procedure and cross-border enforcement recur: the enforcement of a foreign judgment obtained in a country not listed as a reciprocating country under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958, requiring resort to common-law conflict-of-law rules, and committal proceedings for alleged breach of an undertaking in an Anton Piller order.

Contract and tort questions also appear, including a bailment and detinue dispute over an investment arrangement for the purchase of reconditioned vehicles under section 101 of the Contracts Act 1950, and applications to amend pleadings, decided by reference to whether the amendments were bona fide and would change the character of the suit. Criminal work features through a money-laundering forfeiture application under section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act, where the question was whether the monies were the subject matter of, or were used in, the offence, and a rape trial turning on whether the inference of a prima facie case at the close of the prosecution had been displaced. The corpus reflects a commercial High Court judge with a firm grasp of intellectual-property, company and cross-border enforcement questions, resolving each dispute on the documents and the governing statutory scheme.
