Ivanpal Singh Grewal

On the court record

A company and commercial litigation practice with a strong strata-management and civil-procedure component.

Ivanpal Singh Grewal practises in corporate and commercial litigation, appearing across the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). Company law is central to the reported decisions, including shareholder and management disputes under the Companies Act 2016 and the oppression remedy under "section 346" of that Act, together with strata-management disputes over the governance and finances of stratified developments.

A distinctive procedural strand is the use of Order 14A of the Rules of Court 2012 — the determination of a question of law without a full trial — where a dispute turns on a discrete legal point that can be decided on the facts as they stand. Appearing as plaintiff, applicant, appellant and respondent, the practice is instructed on both sides of corporate disputes, and the reported matters engage the provisions of the Companies Act governing corporate decision-making, together with the offence and misappropriation provisions that arise where corporate funds are said to have been misapplied.

The work is document- and statute-driven. In the oppression matters the argument concerns whether the affairs of the company have been conducted unfairly toward a member; in the strata matters the interpretation of the management scheme; and in the Order 14A matters whether the question is suitable for summary determination. The reported reasons frequently turn on the construction of the governing statute and the company's constitution, and on the procedural suitability of deciding a point of law without a trial.

The overall profile is a company and commercial litigation practice with a strong strata-management and civil-procedure component, conducted at first instance and on appeal. The matters turn on the Companies Act, the strata-governance framework, and the procedural tools for the summary determination of legal questions, rather than on any criminal or public-law dimension, marking a practice built around corporate and property-governance disputes.
