Malaysian Insurance Law, Second Edition delves into the intricate world of insurance law in Malaysia with invaluable insights into the principles and practical aspects and its legal framework and regulations. The First Edition, published in 2018, has established itself as the leading reference of insurance law to Malaysian practitioners and students, regulators, supervisory authorities, and insurance industry professionals, providing a comprehensive resource catering to the required knowledge of insurance law.

The text explains the history of insurance practices and sources of insurance law in Malaysia, and essentially discusses the crucial principles and concepts central to insurance law, such as insurable interest, the principles to form an insurance contract, warranties in insurance contracts, and the doctrine of misrepresentation and non-disclosure in insurance and takaful contracts. The discussions further explore the principle of indemnity, subrogation and contribution, doctrine of proximate cause in insurance, claims, agents and brokers, and the legal and regulatory framework of insurance practices in Malaysia.

This updated Second Edition highlights the key cases that have emerged since the release of the First Edition, particularly in the areas encompassing the principle of insurable interest and utmost good faith. The text is reviewed and revised by two new authors, both of whom are eminent legal scholars and insurance law researchers. Two additional chapters discussing the intermediaries of insurance business and regulation of insurance entities are introduced in this edition.

Power of a public nature must neither be abused nor exceeded. Administrative law is the branch of public law which is principally concerned with ensuring that the government, government departments, tribunals and all authorities exercising public law functions act within the perimeters of their power. It is a necessary component to a modern and responsible governmental system.

Administrative Law in Malaysia sets out in clear and succinct language the applicable principles of Malaysian administrative law. This book contains the fruits of a detailed study of Malaysian and foreign, principally English and Australian, court decisions. To aid understanding, the text is rich in the facts of the leading cases and the judicial dicta explaining and applying the law to those cases. The substantive grounds of judicial review are explored and, where appropriate, readers are informed how the local law may differ from the position in major Commonwealth jurisdictions. In this revised new edition, the authors have added a considerable amount of new materials to bring the text up-to-date as well as to increase the depth of analysis and discussion.

The remedies available to the successful litigant are critically considered and the legal position is summarised for easy comprehension and application by busy legal practitioners. Where the local position is unclear or has not been directly considered by the courts, the book attempts to point the way forward. The liability of the government in tort and the availability of injunctions against the government are also covered in the book.
