As accurate pleadings underpin a successful claim brought to court, this home-grown encyclopaedia presents a comprehensive compendium of precedents to support the preparation of pleadings and other related court documents that are comprehensive and sound. Each topic begins with a commentary which provides 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.

In this edition, the commentaries have been updated to take account of case law and legislative developments, and the precedents revised where necessary. The scope of coverage has been expanded to cover four new topics: Economic Torts, Landlord and Tenant, Limitation Ordinances of Sabah and Sarawak, and Native Customary Rights.

Modelled on the well-regarded UK Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s Precedents of Pleadings, this publication has established itself as the first point of reference for civil practitioners in the drafting of pleadings. It houses the combined expertise of more than 50 experienced practitioners across both mainstream and specialist areas of practice and is undoubtedly the most sought-after guide on pleading for all Malaysian practitioners.

Whether you are looking for a statement of claim, defence, reply, affidavit-in-support, consent order or other court document necessary for your conduct of a case in court, look no further than Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s Malaysian Precedents of Pleadings for reliable and well-drafted sample precedents.
