P E Lim is active in commercial and transactions, construction, insolvency, and labour and employment. The firm is regularly engaged as counsels for appeals in the Court of Appeal and as counsels for dispute resolution matters involving constitutional law. Pek Eng (Judy) Lim is a key contact.
In a notable case, the firm acted on behalf of a prominent property developer in Penang and its director, effectively opposing a motion for leave to appeal to the Federal Court regarding the tort of abuse of process. The firm achieved success by successfully striking out the civil suit in the High Court and resisting the subsequent appeal against the striking out in the Court of Appeal. This matter holds significance as there were no prior Federal Court rulings on the tort of abuse of process, making the firm’s successful opposition to the application for leave to appeal particularly noteworthy.
The remainder of the clients the firm has advised are confidential.
