About Bahari Yeow
Bahari Yeow appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025). These were heard before MYHC (4).
On the court record
Bahari Yeow's reported practice is in company, commercial and property litigation, appearing in the High Court and acting for applicants and respondents.
His insolvency work includes related matters concerning Oceanergy Gases Sdn Bhd and Zumatex Engineering Sdn Bhd. In a winding-up petition, acting for a respondent, the issue was whether a company was unable to pay an undisputed outstanding sum so as to raise the presumption of insolvency under sections 465 and 466 of the Companies Act 2016, which the court found unrebutted. In a related application, acting for an applicant, he sought leave under section 486(2) of the Companies Act 2016 to bring, continue and defend proceedings in the name of a company in liquidation, on whether a shareholder had locus standi, whether the liquidator had declined to act, and whether a grant of leave was in the interests of the company given pending appeals and impeachment proceedings alleging fraud.
His commercial work includes an employment-related contract appeal concerning London Weight Management Sdn Bhd, in which he acted for a respondent, on whether an employer was entitled to recover an advance commission paid to an employee and whether the conditions imposed were exercised unreasonably, arbitrarily and capriciously.
He also appears in property litigation. Acting for respondents in an appeal concerning Tenaga Nasional Berhad and a resort development, the case concerned trespass to land and the competing rights of the occupier under an unregistered lease against those of the registered proprietor, whether there was an agreement to lease, whether a successor in title or a management corporation was bound by it, and whether the action was time-barred. The practice is company, commercial and property litigation, with a recurring focus on insolvency, contractual entitlement and competing interests in land. The matters share a concern with entitlement — to wind up a company, to recover a payment, or to hold or occupy land — and with the statutory and contractual footing on which each claim rests.
