Real estate

Work highlights

Successfully represented an individual in a landmark case that reached the Federal Court. The case centres on a novel point of law concerning the principle of indefeasibility of title under Malaysian Land Law. The key question is whether the payment of a deposit by a prior purchaser can override the registered interests of a subsequent purchaser, whose title would typically be considered indefeasible. The Federal Court's decision in this case will set an important precedent, clarifying the balance between protecting prior financial commitments and maintaining the integrity of registered land titles.
