2023 Lim Jia Kei
Jia Kei interned from February 2023 until October 2023, while sitting for her CLP examination.
In litigation she drafted affidavits and submissions — winning Edric Cheah Shiao Hng v Inspedia Sdn Bhd in the Labour Court on the interpretation of an employment contract to claim a special bonus [KBR11001/2023/0055]; drafted submissions for judicial review proceedings supporting an award of the Homebuyer's Tribunal on Liquidated Ascertainable Damages [WA-25-4-01/2023]; assisted in land disputes to remove wrongly entered private caveats [RA-24NCvC-28-07/2023, RA-24NCvC-27-07/2023]; and drafted an affidavit in reply opposing a divorce application [PA-33-332-08/2023].
She also attended SPA signings, assisted transfers of property under probate and letters of administration (including renunciation of beneficiaries' rights), assisted in obtaining a Mental Health Order for a mentally incapacitated owner to sell property, handled sales involving low-cost consents, and drafted wills.
Because the Founder had not yet met the 7-year requirement under the law, the Firm could not take her in as a pupil. She commenced her pupillage in Damansara. JK has been a valuable asset to the Firm, and the Firm looks forward to her return and to collaborating with her in the future.
