10th DR Evening Talk Series

Shearn Delamore & Co. recently held its 10th DR Evening Talk Series of the year on Friday, 17 October 2025. At this latest session, we had the privilege of having two lecturers from Universiti Malaya, Ms. Shaw Mei Choong and Dr. Petrina Tan Tjin Yi as our guest speakers on recent developments surrounding the contracts law. They spoke on the topic “Reflection on Detik Ria Sdn Bhd v Prudential Corporation Holdings Limited & Anor [2025] 3 MLJ 22 and Other Significant Federal Court Decisions in 2025.”

The session focused on the Federal Court’s decision in Detik Ria, along with discussions on other key 2025 Federal Court rulings relating to contract law and remedies. Ms. Choong’s article, “Relief for Claims Based on Contracts Tainted by Illegality,” was cited by the Federal Court in the Detik Ria judgment. Dr. Petrina Tan also provided a corporate perspective on the Detik Ria decision, highlighting the importance of compliance with applicable guidelines and rules when addressing legal and regulatory risks.

At Shearn Delamore & Co., we remain committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning through training and knowledge-sharing sessions for our lawyers and pupils, enabling them to sharpen their legal skills and advance their professional development throughout their careers.
