On the court record
The reported matters span land, constitutional-property and contract work, grounded in High Court and Court of Appeal judgments.
Bryan Ching Tze Yeow's reported matters cover land and property, constitutional protection of property, and civil procedure, argued in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. A civil-procedure and land decision arose where the defendants, government parties, applied under Order 18 rule 19 of the Rules of Court 2012 to strike out a claim and sought a determination under Order 14A on whether they had a right to continue their occupation of occupied land; appearing for the plaintiff, the Court held that the issue could not be decided at the interlocutory stage and had to be determined at trial, and dismissed the strike-out application.
A significant constitutional-property decision reached the Court of Appeal, where the deprivation of land by forfeiture was in issue, engaging the right to property under Article 13(1) of the Federal Constitution, the quasi-criminal nature of forfeiture, the need for strict compliance with the constitutional safeguards and Wednesbury reasonableness. Appearing for the respondent, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the landowner's originating summons and dismissed the appeal, ordering costs of RM25,000 to be paid to the respondent.
Contract interpretation completes the profile. In a High Court interlocutory matter the question was the construction of the terms of a settlement deed, and in particular the meaning and effect of a specified clause; appearing for the plaintiff, the Court answered the questions raised and allowed the application with costs. A thread across these decisions is the protection of property and the interpretation of the instruments and statutes that govern it, from the constitutional limits on forfeiture and the right to continued occupation of land, to the construction of a settlement deed, argued in the High Court and before the Court of Appeal of Malaysia. The reported work thus sits in the land, constitutional-property and contract fields, grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking.
