On the judicial record
Illustrates the demanding subject breadth of a modern commercial High Court list, from summary judgment on certificates of indebtedness to a Montgomery-standard medical-negligence trial and a customs revenue claim.
Shoba Rajah a/p Dorai Rajah sits in the High Court, and the reported decisions here span a notably wide commercial and civil range, authored in English. Banking, finance and insolvency form one cluster: summary-judgment applications on certificates of indebtedness with conclusive-evidence clauses under Order 14 of the Rules of Court 2012, and winding-up work. Company and shareholder disputes appear alongside civil-litigation claims over the fiduciary duties of a joint management committee under the Strata Management Act 2013, with allegations in the nature of fraud and conspiracy. Contract disputes recur — a dispute over a consent order relating to a share-sale agreement, and a breach-of-franchise claim arising from a franchisor's refusal to renew. The docket also reaches into areas that test the court's fact-finding. In a medical-negligence claim the court applied the duty to advise and the Montgomery standard of disclosure to an alleged failure to disclose an alternative treatment before an endoscopic resection, examining causation and informed consent. In a revenue matter the court heard summary-judgment applications by the Government of Malaysia, acting through the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, for unpaid import duties. Land acquisition features through the determination of competing claims to compensation deposited into court, and the meaning of a person interested. Evidence questions arise sharply — the admissibility of documents marked for identification only, and section 73A(2) of the Evidence Act 1950. A defamation action between senior political figures, involving a media entity as publisher and pleaded defences, rounds out the range. The judgments identify the applicable statutory or common-law test — the strike-out standard, the summary-judgment threshold, the Montgomery duty — and apply it to the facts. Private individuals are named only where they are the subject of a publicly reported case name; in the analysis here they are referred to by role, while corporate and governmental parties are named. The collection illustrates the demanding subject breadth of a modern commercial High Court list.
