On the court record
Kenneth Koh Zhong Wey's reported practice is in commercial and civil litigation, with a particular focus on the assessment of damages and on appeals, and it moves between the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Across the matters he acts for appellants, respondents and plaintiffs.
One matter is a High Court appeal from the Sessions Court, in which he acted for the plaintiff-appellant against the dismissal of a claim arising from a contract to operate a school uniform shop on the defendant's premises and to supply uniforms, following the expiry of the contract and the parties' attempt to extend it.
A substantial strand is damages assessment in the Court of Appeal. He appeared in the related appeals concerning Batu Kemas Industri Sdn Bhd, Tenaga Nasional Berhad and the Government of Malaysia, acting for respondents and for an appellant across the appeals. They concerned the quantum of loss and damage from an incident that affected a manufacturing operation — the loss of goods in production and of profits, the loss of production, and the replacement cost and repair of damaged machinery — together with the discretion to award pre-judgment interest and the treatment of documents marked only for identification.
He has also acted in property and tort litigation. Appearing for a plaintiff connected with a trust holding land for an Orang Asli community, he was engaged on an application to amend a perfected High Court order and judgment to reflect joint and several liability, raising whether the defendants were joint tortfeasors, whether the court had jurisdiction to amend an order already drawn up and perfected, whether the application was time-barred, and whether it was bona fide. The practice is commercial, damages and civil-procedure litigation, weighted towards appellate work and the careful proof of loss that decides what a successful claim is ultimately worth.
