On the court record
Dheenish a/l Thevandran appears in the corpus in High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) commercial litigation, with reported matters running through insolvency-related strike-outs, contempt of court and a substantial director-and-shareholder dispute. In one matter, appearing for the defendant, a company in creditors' voluntary winding-up and its liquidator faced a strike-out application under Order 18 rule 19 of the Rules of Court 2012 directed at particular defendants; the questions were whether the statement of claim disclosed a reasonable cause of action, whether the claim was vexatious or frivolous or an abuse of process, whether it was time-barred under section 8(3) of the Civil Law Act 1956, and whether those defendants had any knowledge of, or involvement in, the management or administration of the company. A second matter, appearing for the respondent, concerned contempt of court and the liability of a non-party: whether a person who is not a party to a court order can be liable for contempt through knowingly aiding and abetting its breach, whether proof of a primary breach is a prerequisite to such liability, and whether aiding-and-abetting liability can be established independently of the primary actor's guilt, alongside company-law questions about the survival of consent orders on a winding-up. The third matter, appearing for the plaintiff, was a director-and-shareholder dispute in which a managing director was alleged to have breached his duties and obligations, with claims founded on a consent judgment, breach of directors' duties, conspiracy to injure by lawful and unlawful means, and estoppel and res judicata, met by a counterclaim over a shareholders' agreement and board resolutions. The three matters are connected by a shared factual world of company failure and control — a liquidator pursuing claims out of a voluntary winding-up, allegations that outsiders helped defeat court orders made in that context, and the underlying contest over a managing director's conduct and the shareholders' agreement — so that questions of insolvency, contempt and directors' duties recur in overlapping form. The profile is one of insolvency, contempt and company litigation at first instance.
