On the court record
Ng Jing Yi appears in the corpus in employment and commercial litigation, argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). One Court of Appeal matter, appearing for the respondent, concerned the boundary between two industrial forums: employees who had been suspended and whose dismissal had been referred to the Industrial Court subsequently made claims for unpaid wages to the Labour Office, and the question was whether the Labour Office had jurisdiction to decide the wage claim despite the earlier reference to the Industrial Court, whether its jurisdiction was ousted, and whether the High Court judge had erred in interpreting section 69A of the Employment Act. A second matter, in the High Court and appearing for the defendant, concerned asset preservation: the plaintiffs sought a Mareva injunction, which the court refused, but the court nonetheless ordered that a substantial sum placed by the first defendant in a fixed deposit be preserved pending the disposal of the suit; on the first defendant's appeal against the preservation order alone, the key question was whether the court could maintain the preservation of the funds despite declining Mareva relief, the court holding that, although the requirements for a Mareva injunction were not met, preserving the funds was justified to maintain the status quo and prevent the proceedings from being rendered ineffective. A third matter, in the High Court and appearing for the defendant, was an application to give evidence by way of remote communication technology, engaging the Chief Justice's Practice Directions, section 15A of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 empowering the courts to conduct proceedings by live video link, and Order 33A of the Rules of Court 2012 — including whether such an application should be made by letter or by a supported notice of application. Across the appearances the practice combines employment-forum jurisdiction with asset-preservation and the modern procedure for remote evidence.
