Azmi & Associates’ litigation team, led by Partner Abu Daud Abd Rahim and supported by Associate Nasbal Harun, achieved a significant victory in representing a security service provider in a Winding-Up Petition under the Companies Act 2016.

The team strategically referenced the Federal Court’s precedent in Tan Keen Keong v Tan Eng Hong Paper & Stationery Sdn Bhd & Ors, underscoring that not all statutory breaches warrant winding up.

Senior Associate Mohd Ashraf, along with Associates Intan Zarifah Latif and Nadia Emira Sazahan, meticulously managed the company’s corporate affairs and compiled compelling evidence for the Petition Hearing. Meanwhile, Trainee Solicitor Irdina Jamal diligently conducted comprehensive legal research.

The Court deliberated on the presented arguments and dismissed the petition, ruling in favor of the client. The court fees were awarded to the client, emphasizing the requirement under S465(1)(k) for compelling reasons to initiate such a petition.
