Lim Wei Jiet

On the court record

A public-law and civil-litigation practice spanning constitutional review, company and family matters across all three tiers of court.

Lim Wei Jiet appears across the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan) and the Federal Court (Mahkamah Persekutuan), and the reported decisions describe a practice that combines public law with commercial and civil litigation. Administrative-law work is prominent, including judicial-review applications ("semakan kehakiman") and constitutional questions engaging the striking-down provisions of the Federal Constitution in Article 4(1) and Article 4(2).

The record shows him instructed in a wide range of roles — as defendant, plaintiff, appellant, applicant and intervener — a spread that reflects both a litigation practice and appearances in matters of public importance where an intervener's perspective is put before the court. Alongside the constitutional work there are company disputes, banking matters, and family-law issues, together with criminal-adjacent questions such as an appeal by the prosecution against a trial court's decision and evidentiary argument under "seksyen 114(g) Akta Keterangan 1950" (section 114(g) of the Evidence Act 1950).

The profile that emerges is that of counsel comfortable moving between constitutional and administrative law and general civil litigation, appearing at every tier up to the Federal Court. The matters turn on the interpretation of the Constitution and of statute, the reach of executive and corporate power, and the procedural gateways — leave for judicial review, intervention, appeal — that determine whether a public-law argument is heard at all, rather than on primary fact-finding at trial. The intervener appearances are a notable feature: they place counsel in matters of public importance where the court is assisted by argument beyond that of the immediate parties, complementing the private company, banking and family litigation that makes up the balance of the reported work. Judicial review is the recurring procedural vehicle, and the constitutional matters engage the supremacy of the Federal Constitution and the courts' power to test the validity of legislation and executive action against it.
