On the court record
The reported matters span estate administration, will validity, civil-procedure correction and criminal-appeal limits, grounded in High Court and Court of Appeal judgments.
Low Song Kuan's reported matters are weighted towards estates and probate, with civil-procedure and criminal-appeal work alongside, argued in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Two decisions concern the administration of estates. In a contested grant over an intestate estate, where an originating summons was converted into a writ under Order 72 of the Rules of Court 2012 and the disputed question was whether particular assets, including land transferred to a son's nominee, formed part of the estate, he appeared for the plaintiff; the Court ordered interest at five per cent per year on the sums found due from the date the originating summons was filed. In a further matter on the validity of a will, which also turned on whether a customary marriage had been proved by oral and documentary evidence, he appeared for the plaintiff seeking declarations about the will and the devolution of the estate.
Civil procedure features in an application to correct a clerical mistake in a consent order under the slip rule in Order 20 rule 11, where the error was a wrong date for a Sessions Court judgment referred to in the order. Appearing for the appellant, the Court amended the consent order by substituting the correct date and made no order as to costs.
Criminal appellate work completes the profile. In a Court of Appeal matter the principal question was whether an appellant who had pleaded guilty is entitled to appeal against his conviction, given that under section 305 of the Criminal Procedure Code no appeal lies against a conviction following a guilty plea except as to the extent or legality of the sentence. He appeared for the appellant. Across these decisions the reported work reaches estate administration, will validity, the slip rule and the limits of criminal appeals after a guilty plea, argued at first instance and on appeal.
