On the court record
John Wong Yok Hon's reported practice ranges across commercial contract disputes, company oppression and public-law challenges, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting for plaintiffs, appellants and respondents.
His commercial work includes a High Court suit in which he acted for plaintiffs, including Ann Joo Green Energy Sdn Bhd, on claims for breach of a collaboration and sale-of-business agreement, met by a counterclaim for breach of a shareholders agreement and a shares subscription agreement. The dispute turned on which side had breached which agreement and on liability for sums said to be due under invoices and for the balance purchase price of a business — the sort of multi-contract commercial disentangling that runs through his practice.
A second strand is company oppression. He appeared in the Court of Appeal in the related appeals concerning CJ Polymers Sdn Bhd, acting as both appellant's and respondent's counsel, on whether the removal of a member from management with shares locked in was oppressive, whether a pending misconduct suit barred an oppression action, whether a share sale to a new investor terminated a quasi-partnership, and whether a valuation expert should be cross-examined on the buyout.
He also appears in public-law and environmental litigation. Acting for respondents in a Court of Appeal matter, the case concerned a judicial review challenge to a gazette notification touching on a permanent reserved forest under the National Forestry Act, brought by registered societies seeking to protect the environment, and it engaged the mandatory three-month time limit under Order 53 rule 3(6) of the Rules of Court and the distinction between a judicial review and a private-law action. The practice combines commercial, company and administrative-law litigation, and it shows a lawyer comfortable both untangling competing commercial agreements and testing the limits of executive power through judicial review.
