On the court record
The reported matters span family, company and foreign-judgment-enforcement work, grounded in High Court and Court of Appeal judgments.
Chan Mun Fei's reported matters span family law, company law and the enforcement of foreign judgments, argued in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. A family decision concerned an application to vary a court order made in matrimonial proceedings under section 96 of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, read with section 63 of the Divorce and Matrimonial Proceedings Rules 1980, where the applicant relied on a material change in circumstances and the alleged non-performance of the terms of the order; appearing for the plaintiff, the Court examined whether a material change had been shown sufficient to warrant varying the earlier order.
Company law features in a Court of Appeal appeal concerning alleged breaches of duty by directors, where the issues included whether the business-judgment rule under section 214 of the Companies Act 2016 applied, what constitutes the best interest of the company, and whether the directors were entitled to be discharged; appearing for the appellant, the matter engaged the modern statutory framework governing the duties and protection of directors.
Private international law completes the profile. In a High Court matter concerning the enforcement of a foreign judgment obtained in Korea by default and renewed for a further ten years, the questions were whether the action to enforce it was time-barred, the applicable limitation period, and whether the claim was suitable to be brought by originating summons; appearing for the defendant, the Court dismissed the originating summons with costs of RM25,000, noting that it could in any case have been converted into a writ action. A thread across these decisions is the enforcement and variation of rights across different regimes, from a matrimonial order and the duties of directors to a foreign judgment, argued in the High Court and before the Court of Appeal of Malaysia, and grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking.
