On the judicial record
A commercial judge whose reported corpus is centred on construction disputes, statutory adjudication and performance-bond security, with legal-profession and revenue matters among the range.
Justice Nadzarin bin Wok Nordin sits in both the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan), and the reported decisions in this corpus are strongly commercial, with construction disputes and the statutory adjudication machinery to the fore. Adjudication under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012 recurs, including an application to set aside an adjudication decision given in a major rail-project dispute, where the court examined the grounds on which such a decision may be reviewed.
Construction and infrastructure contracts feature prominently, including disputes arising from contracts involving statutory bodies and government-linked contractors, and back-to-back subcontracting arrangements. Security instruments come before the court through an application under section 41 of the Specific Relief Act 1950 concerning a performance bond and whether a call on it should be restrained.
The corpus also engages the regulation of the legal profession, through an appeal under Order 55A of the Rules of Court seeking review of a decision of the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board, and revenue law, through an appeal concerning bills of demand and a review under section 47(1) of the Excise Act 1976. Tort questions appear as well, including a claim founded on the abuse of process or malicious process, where the court distinguished that cause of action from malicious prosecution and considered which of them the plaintiff had made out. Consultancy disputes tied to arbitration proceedings also feature. A recurring theme is finality — how far a court should go behind an adjudicator's decision, and the deliberately narrow grounds on which such a decision may be set aside, balanced against the swift cash-flow relief the adjudication regime is designed to provide the construction industry. The corpus reflects a commercial judge whose reported work is centred on the construction sector and the adjudication, security and professional-regulation questions that surround it, decided by close attention to the governing statutory scheme and the limited grounds for interfering with an adjudicator's or tribunal's decision.
