About Goik Kenzin
Goik Kenzin appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (4).
On the court record
Goik Kenzin's reported practice is in commercial, company and civil-procedure litigation in the High Court, acting for plaintiffs and defendants.
One matter concerns the integrity of a settlement. Acting for a defendant, he was engaged on an application to declare a consent judgment valid, where a settlement had been recorded and signed in court but the plaintiff, who was not present, later claimed a lack of consent. The issue was whether the plaintiff's counsel had apparent and ostensible authority to compromise the claim, and whether any prejudice or injustice had been shown.
His contract work includes a High Court suit on a finder's fee, in which he acted for a plaintiff, on the interpretation of a letter of undertaking, the conditions for payment, the effect of a project's termination on the parties' obligations, and the drawing of an adverse inference under section 114(g) of the Evidence Act 1950. He has also acted for a plaintiff in a joint venture dispute concerning Sayap Jaya Sdn Bhd and Sejati Tropika Sdn Bhd, on the conduct of the parties and the interpretation of a valid planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1976.
His company work includes a High Court matter concerning Expo Electronics Sdn Bhd and related parties, in which he acted for a defendant, on an application to set aside or impeach a court order made in an earlier originating summons together with the appointments of a company director and secretary and a transfer of shares, and, in the alternative, to strike out the claim, alongside a claim for reinstatement as company secretary. The practice is commercial, company and civil-procedure litigation, with a recurring focus on the validity of agreements, orders and corporate appointments, and on whether those who acted had the authority they claimed. The recurring question is one of authority and validity — whether a settlement, an order or a corporate act truly binds the party said to be bound.
