Tan Ko Xin appears as counsel of record in 5 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (5).
On the court record
Tan Ko Xin's reported practice is in company, housing and commercial litigation in the High Court, with a strong civil-procedure dimension. Across the matters she acts for plaintiffs, appellants, respondents and defendants.
Her company work includes a dispute over members' rights to requisition an extraordinary general meeting under sections 310 and 311 of the Companies Act 2016, where she acted for plaintiffs on whether section 310(b) applies only to a single member holding ten per cent of the shares or also to several members whose combined holding reaches ten per cent — turning on whether the singular "member" includes the plural under section 4(3) of the Interpretation Acts 1948 and 1967.
A substantial strand is housing and consumer protection. In a matter concerning Lakefront Residence Sdn Bhd she acted for an appellant on the computation of liquidated ascertained damages for late delivery under statutory sale and purchase agreements, on whether time runs from the booking fee or the execution of the agreement, drawing on the consumer protection in the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 and the authorities of PJD Regency and Obata-Ambak. In a related matter she acted for respondents on whether the owners of only a few units had locus standi to challenge a certificate of completion and compliance issued for the whole development, and on whether the questions were suitable for summary determination under Order 14A of the Rules of Court 2012.
She also appears in debt and summary-judgment litigation, acting on a friendly-loan dispute between family members over whether monies advanced were a loan or funds used for share transactions, and in a summary-judgment matter concerning Safemine Minerals Sdn Bhd on the burden on a defendant to show a genuine triable issue. The practice is company, housing and civil-procedure litigation, with a recurring interest in the statutory protections that govern how homes are sold and how companies are run.
