On the court record
A corporate and civil litigation practice combining company disputes with probate and damages-assessment work.
Lim Qi Si practises in corporate and civil litigation, appearing across the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan), with the reported decisions recording appearances as respondent, appellant, plaintiff, defendant and petitioner. Company law is central, including winding-up proceedings and the remedies available under the Companies Act 2016, together with the leave requirements that govern an appeal to the Court of Appeal in certain company matters.
A distinctive strand concerns wills and estates: the reported matters engage the issue of a testator's knowledge and approval of the contents of a will — a question that goes to the validity of the testamentary disposition — within the probate jurisdiction. There is also work on the assessment of damages, including an appeal on the quantum awarded, and negligence and contract claims. Appearing on both sides of the record, the practice is instructed by companies, estates and individuals in disputes that turn on the governing statute and on the proof of the parties' entitlements.
The work turns on statutory interpretation, the principles of probate, and the assessment of loss. In the winding-up matters the argument concerns whether the statutory grounds are made out; in the probate matters whether the testator knew and approved the contents of the will; in the quantum matters the correct measure of damages; and in the leave-to-appeal matters whether the threshold for a further appeal is satisfied. Several matters reach the Court of Appeal on questions arising from a first-instance decision.
The overall profile is a corporate and civil litigation practice with a distinctive probate and damages component, conducted at first instance and on appeal. The matters turn on the Companies Act, the requirements for a valid will, and the assessment of damages, rather than on any criminal or public-law dimension, marking a practice that combines company disputes with private-client and quantum work.
