On the judicial record
A High Court judge whose reported corpus centres on civil procedure, costs and contract, applied by careful provision-by-provision construction of the Rules of Court.
Justice Azizan bin Md. Arshad sits in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions in this corpus are civil and commercial, with civil procedure, costs and contract prominent, the judgments typically setting out the governing provisions of the Rules of Court before applying them. Costs is a recurring subject: decisions engage Order 59 of the Rules of Court, including the taxation of the costs of proceedings before an arbitrator or umpire and the special matters the court takes into account in exercising its discretion as to costs.
Civil-procedure practice is well represented. Decisions address the determination of questions of law or construction under Order 14A of the Rules of Court; the discovery and inspection of documents under Order 24, including production to the court; the setting aside of an ex parte order, in disputes brought by the Government against developers; and the nature of an appeal to the High Court as a rehearing under Order 55.
Contract, tort and land questions also feature. A defamation decision applies the principle that libel is actionable per se, so that damage is presumed from the infringement of the right to reputation, and considers special damages. Frustration is examined where a defendant argued only in its defence that land could not be developed, raising when the doctrine arose, and damages against a public authority are assessed under section 10 of the Civil Law Act 1956. Commercial enforcement appears through the service of a Mareva injunction on numerous banks to freeze funds pending judgment, and damages against a public authority are assessed by close reference to the statutory framework. The corpus reflects a High Court judge who resolves civil and commercial disputes by careful, provision-by-provision application of the Rules of Court and the governing substantive law, setting out the relevant provision before applying it to the facts and giving reasons grounded in the text.
