On the court record
Amira Nur Nadia binti Azhar's reported practice spans banking, arbitration and statutory-liability litigation, appearing in the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court and acting for plaintiffs, appellants and applicants.
Her banking work includes a High Court matter concerning Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad, in which she acted for a plaintiff, the administrator of a deceased's estate, on a claim founded on Al-Mudharabah investment certificates (an Islamic profit-sharing investment). The case turned on whether the certificates were prima facie evidence of sums held by the bank, the burden of proof and the presumption of payment after a considerable lapse of time — here some twenty-two years — the limits of automatic renewal, and the treatment of unclaimed monies under the Unclaimed Monies Act 1965.
Her arbitration work includes related Court of Appeal matters concerning Kasugi Prima Sdn Bhd and Cobrain Holdings Sdn Bhd, in which she acted for the appellant, on the authority of an arbitrator under section 21(3)(b) of the Arbitration Act 2005 and the arbitrator's expertise to analyse the evidence without breaching the rules of natural justice.
She also appears in statutory-liability litigation at the apex level. Acting for applicants in a Federal Court matter concerning the Employees Provident Fund, the question was the joint and several liability of a company's directors under section 46 of the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991, whether they were the proper parties, and whether a suit could be instituted against the directors independently of the company. The practice combines Islamic-banking, arbitration and statutory-liability litigation, with a recurring interest in who bears responsibility for a debt or obligation and how it is proved. Whether the obligation arises from an Islamic investment certificate, an arbitral award, or a statutory duty imposed on a company's directors, the recurring question is one of accountability — who must pay, and what evidence establishes it.
