Tengku Nazmi Bin Tengku Anuar

On the court record

Tengku Nazmi Bin Tengku Anuar appears in the reported corpus as counsel across land, company and civil litigation at the High Court and Court of Appeal. His land work is visible in a foreclosure dispute where consent orders for sale had been obtained, and the question was whether those orders, said to have been obtained without the knowledge of the beneficial owner, should be set aside, whether the chargee's conduct constituted fraud under section 340(2)(a) of the National Land Code, and whether procedural compliance immunises a chargee. He was also engaged as appellant's counsel in Court of Appeal proceedings on an extension of time to file a Form N under section 38(1) of the Land Acquisition Act 1960 to refer a compensation objection to the High Court, where the enquiry had exceeded the statutory time limit and the question was whether special circumstances warranted the exercise of the court's discretion.

His company and contract work rounds out the picture. He was engaged as respondent's counsel in a scheme-of-arrangement matter under section 366 of the Companies Act 2016, where the court considered whether the statutory requirements had been complied with, whether the classes of creditors were properly constituted, the majority approval at the creditors' meeting, and the adequacy of disclosure in the explanatory statement. In a contract matter he appeared on a share subscription agreement involving redeemable convertible preference shares, where the question was whether a shareholder guarantor was liable to pay the redemption amount upon the company's default under a letter of undertaking, and in a further matter on the principles governing applications to amend pleadings. Across these reported decisions his work moves between land and foreclosure, corporate restructuring and commercial contract, marking Tengku Nazmi Bin Tengku Anuar as counsel across property, company and civil disputes. Across these reported decisions the common thread is the enforcement and resistance of secured and corporate obligations — a chargee's order for sale, a scheme binding dissenting creditors, a guarantor pressed on a redemption undertaking — and the procedural steps, including amendment and extension of time, through which such disputes are shaped.
