On the court record
A corporate-and-property litigation practice weighted toward company disputes and dealings in land.
Chong Lip Yi practises in corporate and property litigation, appearing across the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan) and the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), with the reported decisions recording appearances as respondent, appellant, plaintiff and defendant. The caseload is company and land. A recurring subject is company law, including a dispute over the shares of a joint-venture company, and the reported matters engage the oppression and shareholder-remedy framework, including the member's remedy under "section 181" of the companies legislation.
There is also property work: the reported matters include a dispute over whether a sale-and-purchase of land transaction was valid, engaging the construction of the sale agreement and the statutory framework governing dealings in land. Appearing on both sides of the record, the practice is instructed in corporate and property disputes, in matters that turn on the governing statute and the terms of the parties' agreements, and on the rights and remedies of shareholders and parties to a land transaction.
The work turns on the interpretation of the Companies Act and of sale and land instruments. In the joint-venture and share matters the argument concerns the rights attaching to the shares and whether the affairs of the company were conducted oppressively toward a member; in the land matters the validity of the transaction and the parties' respective entitlements. Several matters reach the Court of Appeal on questions of law arising from a first-instance decision, reflecting a practice instructed at both levels.
The overall profile is a corporate-and-property litigation practice conducted at first instance and on appeal, weighted toward company disputes — including shareholder and joint-venture matters — and dealings in land. The matters turn on the Companies Act, the shareholder-oppression remedy, and the law governing sales of land, rather than on any criminal or public-law dimension, marking a practice built around corporate ownership and property transactions.
