In the field of insolvency, the firm is currently representing a subsidiary of Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation in their defence against winding-up proceedings. These proceedings have been initiated based on an alleged debt related to the construction of six littoral combat ships. This case holds significant importance as it involves the insolvency of the client, which has a substantial workforce, and centres around a heavily disputed debt. The High Court has granted an application to strike out the petition on the grounds that the subject-matter is subject to arbitration. Currently, the matter is awaiting appeal at the Court of Appeal.
Some of the firm’s litigation clients are Boustead Naval Shipyard, Dar Al-Handasah Consultants, Felda Land Development Authority, JCT and Malayan Banking.
