On the judicial record
A guide to how a High Court applies the Arbitration Act 2005 — mandatory stays and the setting aside and enforcement of awards — alongside derivative actions under the Companies Act 2016 and Order 14 summary judgment in commercial disputes.
Muhammad Adam @ Edward bin Abdullah sits in the High Court, and this collection is strongly weighted toward commercial civil procedure and arbitration, authored in English. Arbitration is a central strand: applications to stay court proceedings under section 10 of the Arbitration Act 2005, where the stay is mandatory once a valid arbitration agreement is shown, including a stay founded on an arbitration clause in a sporting competition's regulations, and applications to set aside or enforce an award turning on the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction, the scope of the submission to arbitration and whether a new difference fell outside it. Company law features through a derivative action and leave to commence proceedings under sections 347 and 348 of the Companies Act 2016 and whether the plaintiffs acted in good faith, and through the principle that the courts are slow to interfere in the internal management of a company. Interlocutory relief appears through an Erinford injunction pending appeal in a corporate dispute over share transfers alleged void for want of consideration. Civil procedure runs throughout, particularly summary judgment under Order 14 of the Rules of Court 2012 on financing facilities and guarantees, where bare denials and unproven allegations will not raise a triable issue. Securities regulation is engaged where an introducer's commission claim was met with the defence of illegality for unlicensed dealing in securities under the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007, and contempt through leave to commence committal proceedings for allegedly false statements in affidavits. Private individuals are referred to by role; corporate, sporting and institutional parties are named. A recurring theme is the court's respect for the parties' chosen forum and the internal autonomy of companies, tempered by close scrutiny where good faith or jurisdiction is in issue. The collection is a clear guide to how a High Court applies the Arbitration Act 2005 and the summary and company procedure that accompanies commercial disputes.
