On the court record
Lu Yiing Suey appears in the corpus in succession and company litigation, argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). Two related Court of Appeal appeals, appearing for the appellant, concerned the doctrine of mutual wills — one of the more subtle areas of succession law. A deceased and his first wife had executed substantially identical wills bequeathing their jointly owned matrimonial home to their niece; after the first wife's death the deceased remarried and executed a later will leaving his estate to his second wife. The issue was whether the earlier wills were mutual and therefore irrevocable, binding the survivor by a constructive trust to give effect to the common intention, or whether the survivor remained free to depart from them by a later will in exercise of his testamentary freedom; the questions engaged irrevocability, the use of extrinsic evidence to prove a common intention, and the effect of the subsequent will, and the appeal, brought by the executor of the first wills, followed a High Court decision that had favoured the later will, the appellate court itself producing a majority and a dissenting judgment. A third matter, in the High Court and appearing for the plaintiff, concerned the appointment of receivers and managers, and turned on questions of procedure: whether an appointment can be made ex parte under Order 30 of the Rules of Court, whether that Order requires an inter partes procedure, whether the requirement in section 376(1) of the Companies Act 2016 to give notice to the company precludes ex parte appointments, and whether the twenty-one-day limitation in Order 29 rule 1(2B) and the lapse of ex parte orders on the return date applied to relief ancillary to a receiver's appointment. Across the appearances the practice combines the doctrinal intricacies of mutual wills with the procedural framework governing receivership.
