On the court record
The reported matters span breach-of-trust share valuation, joint-venture and civil-procedure work, grounded in High Court judgments rather than any ranking.
Calvin Lim Sin Guan's reported matters cover breach of trust and the valuation of shares, joint-venture and planning disputes, and civil procedure, argued in the High Court. A breach-of-trust decision followed a finding, upheld by the Court of Appeal, that a defendant had disposed of the plaintiff's shares in breach of trust, so that the defendant was to pay the plaintiff the value of those shares; appearing for the plaintiff, the matter concerned the assessment of that value on the basis of the market price, the price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree, which turns the case into an exercise in valuation once liability is settled.
Joint-venture and land disputes feature in a matter arising from a joint-venture agreement, where the conduct of the parties and the validity of planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 were in issue; appearing for the plaintiff, the Court considered an application for a stay of execution against the background of a concern that a party was attempting to dissipate the land, and the stay was allowed.
Civil procedure completes the profile. In a matter concerning an application to re-amend an amended statement of claim to add a paragraph clarifying the cause of action, made after the defendant had filed a counterclaim, he appeared for the plaintiff; the Court found merit in the defendant's objection and dismissed the application with costs of RM3,000, while noting that the plaintiff could address the matter in a reply. A thread across these decisions is the vindication and management of property and contractual rights, from the recovery of the value of shares taken in breach of trust and the protection of land pending trial, to the amendment of pleadings, argued in the High Court of Malaya, and grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking.
