Also successfully resisted the appeal on the injunction application at the Court of Appeal’s level by having assisted senior counsels on the point that an appeal for interlocutory injunction becomes academic when the pre-existing cause of action has been dismissed or fails.

Estate & Trust Litigation

Forgery of will

Ho Hee Yik v. Tee Yen Chong & Ors. [2025] MLRHU 2862 (High Court) (Pending appeal)

Entrusted to conduct the case independently against the Defendants to invalidate an alleged will of the deceased wife. Led the trial during the 2^nd year of practice involving a total of 11 witnesses and handwriting expert. Managed to secure an admission from a purported attesting witness during cross-examination that he in fact did not witness the deceased wife signing the will before him. Eventually succeeded in obtaining a declaration from the Court that the alleged will is forged, invalid, null and void and overcame the issue of non-registration of marriage between the couple raised by the Defendants on a salient point of law concerning the validity of existing Chinese customary marriage or common law marriage before the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 took effect.

Represented the client to defend a civil action brought by the Plaintiffs to set aside a small estate distribution order issued by the Land Administrator pertaining to the deceased’s estate on counts of alleged misrepresentation and fraud after more than 30 years. Successfully convinced the Court that the Land Administrator holds exclusive original jurisdiction to hear matters relating to small estates and the High Court has no original jurisdiction to hear the Plaintiffs’ originating summons as a manner to bypass the appeal process provided under the Small Estate (Distribution) Act 1955 while also having established for the client his beneficial interest over the subject matter property on resulting trust.
