Amelda Md Din

On the court record

Amelda Md Din appears in the reported corpus as a commercial, company and banking litigator, with professional fees, injunctions, corporate capacity and guarantees among the reported matters at the High Court and Court of Appeal. She was engaged on both sides of a Court of Appeal matter on an estate-agency fee under the Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Act 1981 and rule 92(1) of the Estate Agents Rules 1986, where the question was whether a registered estate agent was the effective cause of the sale so as to be entitled to the fee. Her interlocutory practice appears in an application for an interim injunction, where the court considered whether there were serious questions to be tried, where the balance of convenience lay and whether the company concerned still held the manufacturer's licence.

Her company and banking work rounds out the picture. She was engaged in a company matter on corporate capacity and the ultra vires doctrine, where the validity of financing and security agreements was challenged on the footing that the company's objects clause did not permit pharmaceutical business activities, engaging section 20(1) of the Companies Act 1965. In a banking matter she appeared on the release and discharge of a guarantor, where the questions were whether the disposal of shares and resignation as a director extinguished the guarantor's liability, whether the bank's silence amounted to an implicit approval of a request to be released, and whether the bank owed any duty in that regard. Across these reported decisions her work moves between professional-fee entitlement, injunctive relief, corporate capacity and the law of guarantees, marking Amelda Md Din as a commercial and banking litigator of broad range, engaged both with the substantive questions of contract and company law and with the interlocutory relief that so often shapes a commercial dispute.
