About Abu Haziq bin Abu Talib
Abu Haziq bin Abu Talib appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025). These were heard before MYHC (2) and MYCOA (2).
On the court record
Abu Haziq bin Abu Talib's reported practice is in employment, commercial and property-services litigation, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting for plaintiffs, defendants, respondents and appellants.
His employment work includes a High Court matter in which he acted for plaintiffs who were employees of a charitable foundation, challenging the formation of an executive committee that took over control of their employer and terminated their employment. The case raised whether the employees could seek declarations and compensation in the civil courts rather than the Industrial Court, and whether prayers framed around the tort of conspiracy were obviously unsustainable.
His commercial work includes a contract dispute concerning Jemmings Sdn Bhd (in liquidation) and a construction counterparty, in which he acted for a defendant. The claim was for breach of an agreement ("Tuntutan perlanggaran perjanjian"), turning on whether the defendant's termination of the agreement was valid, whether the plaintiff was entitled to compensation if it was not, and whether any sum should be set off against payments already made.
He also appears in professional-services litigation. In related Court of Appeal matters concerning Propnex Realty Sdn Bhd and a development bank, in which he acted as respondent's and appellant's counsel, the appeals concerned an estate agency agreement and the entitlement of a registered estate agent to its fee under the Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Act 1981 and rule 92(1) of the Estate Agents Rules 1986, and in particular whether the agent was the effective cause of the sale. The practice is employment, contract and property-services litigation, with a recurring focus on entitlement — to a remedy, to compensation, or to a professional fee. Across the employment, contract and agency matters, the court is repeatedly asked who is entitled to be paid or heard, on what legal footing, and in which forum.
