About Neo Chi Chyn
Neo Chi Chyn appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (4).
On the court record
The reported matters span discovery, judicial management, land-acquisition review and winding-up work, grounded in High Court judgments.
Neo Chi Chyn's reported matters cover civil procedure, company rescue, land-acquisition review and insolvency, argued in the High Court. A procedural decision concerned a discovery application relating to a fire at the plaintiffs' premises, brought by a defendant seeking documents in support of a counterclaim and compensation; appearing for the plaintiff, the Court examined whether the defendant had shown the documents existed and were within the plaintiff's possession, custody or power, and whether they were necessary for the fair disposal of the counterclaim.
Company rescue features in a High Court application for a judicial management order under sections 404 and 405 of the Companies Act 2016, where the pre-conditions were in issue, including whether the statutory objectives in section 405 were likely to be achieved; appearing for an intervener connected to a statutory fund, the matter engaged the modern corporate-rescue regime and the balance it strikes between a company's survival and its creditors' interests.
Public law and insolvency complete the profile. In a judicial-review leave application she appeared for a respondent where the question was whether a gazette in Form D under the Land Acquisition Act 1960 is a decision that can be challenged by judicial review. In a further matter she appeared for a respondent to a petition to wind up a company on the just and equitable ground, where the issue was whether the cessation of the company's business amounted to a loss of substratum justifying a winding-up order. A thread across these decisions is the framework of corporate and administrative life, from the disclosure obligations in litigation, to the rescue or winding up of a company, to the reviewability of a land-acquisition gazette, argued in the High Court at Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam. The reported work is thus a mix of commercial and public-law litigation, with a consistent focus on the conditions a statute or rule sets before a remedy, whether discovery, rescue, review or winding up, can be granted.
