full force of the Malaysian civil courts to bear
on your behalf.
What is Civil Litigation
The legal
process that
resolves disputes
between parties
Civil litigation is the process of resolving non-criminal disputes through the Malaysian court system. Unlike criminal proceedings brought by the state, civil cases are initiated by one party against another — to recover money, enforce a contract, claim compensation, or protect a right.
Cases are heard at the Magistrates’ Court, Sessions Court, or High Court depending on the quantum and nature of the claim, with appeals progressing to the Court of Appeal and Federal Court. The process is governed by the Rules of Court 2012, the Contracts Act 1950, and a wide body of case law developed over decades of Malaysian jurisprudence.
At Dhyanco, we handle civil litigation from the first letter of demand all the way through to post-judgment enforcement — ensuring our clients’ claims are pursued strategically and without delay.
Practice Areas
Every civil claim,
handled decisively
We act for plaintiffs and defendants across the full spectrum of civil disputes in the Malaysian civil courts.
Contract Disputes
Breach of contract, wrongful termination, and non-performance claims. We enforce agreements and defend against unmeritorious breach claims with precision.
Employment Disputes
Wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, breach of employment contract, and restraint of trade clauses representing both employees and employers.
Injunctions & Urgent Relief
Interim and interlocutory injunctions to preserve assets, protect confidential information, or stop unlawful conduct obtained on short notice when the situation demands.
Debt Recovery
Outstanding invoices, unpaid loans, and dishonoured cheques. We pursue your debtors through summary judgment, winding-up petitions, and bankruptcy notices.
Fraud & Misrepresentation
Fraudulent inducement, deceit, and misrepresentation in commercial transactions. We trace assets, obtain injunctions, and pursue fraudsters through the courts.
Company & Shareholder Disputes
Oppression of minority shareholders, director breaches, and deadlocked boards. We protect your investment and enforce your rights under the Companies Act 2016.
Defamation & Reputation
Libel, slander, and online defamation claims. In the age of social media, reputational damage can be devastating. We act swiftly to protect and restore your name.
Negligence & Tort Claims
Professional negligence, personal injury, and property damage. We pursue tortfeasors vigorously and defend those wrongly accused of negligent conduct.
Appeals
If a judgment has gone against you, the matter does not end there. We advise on and conduct civil appeals before the Court of Appeal and Federal Court of Malaysia.
How We Help
From first
call to final
judgment
Our litigators take ownership of your case from
day one handling every procedural step, court
appearance, and strategic decision so you can focus
on your business and your life.
“Most disputes can be resolved before trial — but only from a position of strength. We build that position from the moment you walk through our door.”
Case Assessment & Strategy
We review your documents, assess the legal merits honestly, and advise on the best forum, timeline, and realistic outcome. If the case should settle early, we say so.
Letter of Demand
A well-drafted demand letter often resolves the matter before any writ is filed. We send firm, legally precise demand letters that signal our seriousness and preserve your position.
Filing the Writ & Pleadings
If settlement is not forthcoming, we draft and file the Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim — or defend against one — in the appropriate court under the Rules of Court 2012.
Discovery & Interlocutory Applications
We manage the disclosure process, subpoena witnesses, and make interlocutory applications including injunctions, summary judgment, and striking-out applications to gain early advantage.
Trial Preparation & Hearing
Witness statements, trial bundles, and written submissions prepared with precision. Our litigators appear in court and cross-examine effectively to present your case at its strongest.
Judgment & Enforcement
Upon judgment, we enforce it — writ of seizure and sale, garnishee orders, bankruptcy notices, and winding-up petitions. Winning the case is only half the job.
