On the court record
Jagjit Singh's reported practice ranges across commercial, criminal, insurance and family litigation, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting for plaintiffs, appellants and respondents.
His commercial and professional-costs work includes a matter concerning Pacific & Orient Insurance Co. Berhad and a firm of solicitors, in which he acted for a plaintiff, where there was no agreement between the parties on the legal fees, so that under section 121(1) of the Legal Profession Act 1976 the bill of costs could at the firm's option contain detailed items or be for a gross sum. He has also acted for plaintiffs in a substantial assessment of damages arising from a Court of Appeal order that had declared a novation agreement, a repayment agreement and a guarantee void and unenforceable, in a matter involving Alliance Investment Bank Berhad.
He appears in criminal appellate work. Acting for an appellant in a Court of Appeal matter, he was engaged in an appeal against conviction arising from a corruption prosecution concerning a solar project under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which had been jointly tried, and which involved procedural questions including an application for the judge's recusal and the handling of a draft judgment.
His family work includes a High Court matter, in which he acted for a respondent, on an application by a proposed intervener on behalf of a child born out of wedlock, based on promises said to have been made by the respondent to provide for the child, and whether the child's pecuniary and proprietary interest would be affected by the matrimonial proceedings under the Divorce and Matrimonial Proceedings Rules 1980 and Order 15 rule 6 of the Rules of Court 2012. The practice is broad litigation across commercial, criminal, insurance and family matters. It is an unusually wide caseload, moving from a bill of costs to a corruption appeal to a dispute over provision for a child.
