(As at 1 Jan 2025) P.U.(A) 205/2012 INCORPORATING THE AMENDMENTS IN P.U.(A) 229/2023
Rules of Court 2012
RM90.00
The Rules of Court 2012 came into effect on 1 August 2012, replacing the 1980 Rules of the High Court and the 1980 Subordinate Courts Rules. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly impacted various industries, including the legal profession, leading to amendments in the rules to address case backlogs and integrate technology as a permanent feature of Malaysia’s justice system.
Key updates included provisions for proceedings conducted via remote communication technology, electronic filing of court documents, and restrictions on trial adjournments. Further amendments were introduced through the Rules of Court (Amendment) 2023 [PU(A) 229/2023], which took effect on 1 August 2023. These changes aim to streamline procedures and reduce administrative burdens in legal proceedings. Notably, the computation of time for service was revised from being “inclusive of the day of such service” to “excluding the day of such service”.
This adjustment impacts the deadlines for defendants to enter an appearance or for plaintiffs to obtain a judgment in default, ensuring greater consistency and clarity in procedural timelines by aligning them with standard legal principles. These rules are an essential reference for legal practitioners and advocates, providing convenience and ease of access.

PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY IN MALAYSIA
RM180.00KEY TOPICS:
- Examination of the general law, and their application in respect of the selected professions.
- Guidance on the possible development of local law for difficult issues without settled local authorities.
- Specific duties arising either at common law, equity or under legislation in relation to the selected professions.
- Standard of care, and the relevancy of qualification and experience.
- The conditions, and limits, of the tests developed in Caparo Industries v Dickman and Smith v Eric Bush.
- The importance of a retainer and the application of the SAAMCO principle.
- The law regarding confidentiality.
- The application of limitation in claims for latent defects in buildings.
- Remedies for breach of fiduciary obligations.
- Quantification of damages.
This book seeks to examine the main principles of professional liability in Malaysia with emphasis on the liabilities in tort and equity, in addition to the obligations under contract and written law. While specific chapters are devoted to the law as is applicable to surveyors, construction professionals (exemplified by engineers, architects and quantity surveyors), accounting professionals, doctors and lawyers, the law is examined against the backdrop of the general law applicable to professionals generally.
The book provides the answers to some key questions – in what circumstances would a professional owe a duty to a client or to a third party, what is the standard of care the law demands that a professional should adhere to, and what would be the extent of the liability of a professional where a breach of duty is proved. In addition to the principles of assessment of damages in tort, emphasis is also given to the rules governing equitable compensation.
The authors have helpfully provided a wide range of pointers to relevant developments of the law in Commonwealth jurisdictions for better analysis and to show the way forward for Malaysian law where issues have yet to be decided in Malaysia.

CHARGES & DISCHARGES
RM113.00* 2 COPIES LEFT
The word “charge” is wider in purport and includes, beside the element of offence, the reference to the person who is alleged to have committed it. Thus, the expression ‘a misjoinder of charges’ in Section 537(b) means the misjoinder either of the offences or of the persons alleged to have committed the offences. To hold that it refers only to the misjoinder of the first, would be to unnecessarily narrow the purport and effect of that section.
