On the court record
Henry Poh Jun Yang's reported practice is in commercial and company litigation in the High Court, with a strong interest in contract and civil procedure, acting for defendants and plaintiffs.
His civil-procedure work includes a matter concerning Kenanga Investors Berhad, in which he acted for a defendant, on an application to amend a defence and counterclaim requiring leave of court under Order 20 rule 5 of the Rules of Court 2012. The court applied the three-limb Yamaha Motor test and the Hong Leong Finance principles for late amendments, on whether the amendments would change the character of the suit, whether the application was bona fide, whether any prejudice could be compensated by costs, and whether the amendments introduced new parties.
The same corporate dispute produced a contract question. Acting for a defendant, he was engaged on a put-and-call option agreement, on whether a ten-business-day notice requirement for exercising a put option was mandatory or directory, whether the option was validly exercised when notice was served only three days before expiry, and whether non-compliance rendered the notice null and void so that the agreement automatically terminated.
He also handles urgent civil relief. Acting for a plaintiff in an intellectual-property matter involving SL Precision Tools & Dies Sdn Bhd and STMicroelectronics Sdn Bhd, he was engaged on an ex parte Anton Piller injunction and whether it should be set aside, on the requirements of an extremely strong prima facie case, full and frank disclosure, and proof that the defendants held incriminating evidence. He has further acted for a defendant in a restitution suit concerning CJ Polymers Sdn Bhd, brought to recover monies said to have been wrongfully received. The practice is commercial, company and civil-procedure litigation, with a recurring focus on the mechanics of contracts, pleadings and interim relief. The recurring question is whether a step taken — an amendment, a notice, or an ex parte order — was validly and properly done.
