Rosamirah Insyirah Binti Zamri

On the court record

A commercial-and-public-law litigation practice combining judicial review and res judicata with contract, arbitration and development disputes.

Rosamirah Insyirah Binti Zamri practises in commercial and public-law litigation, appearing across the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan) and the Federal Court (Mahkamah Persekutuan), with the reported decisions weighted toward the respondent side. Judicial-review applications recur, and the reported matters engage the doctrine of res judicata — which prevents the re-litigation of a matter already finally decided — together with breach-of-contract and development disputes.

The reported work engages summary judgment under Order 14 of the Rules of Court 2012, arbitration, and land and development matters, including a dispute over a breach of an agreement to jointly develop a property. Appearing largely as respondent, but also as defendant and appellant, the practice is instructed in defending decisions and commercial outcomes and in resisting challenges to them, in matters that turn on the interpretation of statute and contract, the finality of prior decisions, and the arbitration and development frameworks.

The work turns on the principles of judicial review, res judicata, contract and civil procedure. In the judicial-review matters the argument concerns whether the decision-maker acted lawfully and within power; in the res judicata matters whether the issue has already been finally determined; in the summary-judgment matters whether there is a triable issue; and in the development and contract matters the construction of the joint-development or other agreement. The matters that reach the Federal Court turn on questions of law of general importance.

The overall profile is a commercial-and-public-law litigation practice conducted at every tier up to the Federal Court, combining judicial review and res judicata with contract, arbitration and development disputes. The matters turn on the principles of judicial review and res judicata, the construction of development and commercial agreements, and the summary-judgment and arbitration frameworks, rather than on any criminal dimension, marking a practice that bridges commercial disputes and the review of official and prior decisions.
