On the court record
Criminal-defence and criminal-procedure appellate work across the High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court.
Low Wei Loke appears across the full appellate hierarchy — the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan) and the Federal Court (Mahkamah Persekutuan) — with the reported decisions weighted toward the appellant side and the defence of the accused. The subject matter is serious crime and criminal procedure. Drug matters engage trafficking under "seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952" (section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952) and the possession presumption in "seksyen 37(d)"; homicide matters engage "seksyen 300 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 300 of the Penal Code) and the question whether the injuries inflicted fell within the definition of murder.
A distinctive feature of the practice is its engagement with criminal-procedure and liberty questions that reach the apex court. The reported decisions include argument on whether an accused, upon being investigated, is entitled to particular procedural protections, and whether an express remand order is required under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. There is also criminal-breach-of-trust work under "seksyen 405 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 405 of the Penal Code), and appeals by the prosecution against a trial court's decision.
The overall profile is criminal counsel operating at every appellate tier, combining trafficking and homicide defence with the procedural and constitutional-adjacent questions — remand, investigation rights, the reach of statutory powers — that carry a case from the High Court to the Federal Court. The matters turn on statutory interpretation and the limits of coercive powers as much as on the evaluation of trial evidence. A defining feature is that several matters reached the Federal Court on questions of criminal procedure and personal liberty — the requirements for a valid remand and the protections owed to a person under investigation — so the reported work sits at the point where serious-crime defence meets the constitutional limits on the powers of arrest and detention.
