As the practice of pleading is central to civil procedural law, this home-grown publication presents a comprehensive compendium of precedents and related documents. It offers authoritative and structured precedents to support the drafting of pleadings and other court documents. Each topic begins with a commentary which gives a succinct account of the applicable principles of law and, where relevant, specific guidelines on pleading. The clear understanding of the applicable law afforded by the commentaries greatly enhances the drafting exercise based on the multitude of precedents available in the publication.

To maintain the objective of this publication as an indispensable guide to drafting pleadings, in this second edition, all the existing chapters have been updated/revised to take account of developments in the law and practice, and a further 8 new chapters have been introduced. Modelled on the highly respected UK Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s Precedents of Pleadings, this publication is intended to be the first point of reference for civil practitioners in the drafting of pleadings. It contains the combined expertise of more than 50 experienced practitioners across both mainstream and specialist areas of practice and will no doubt continue to be the most sought-after guide on pleading to all Malaysian practitioners.
