Malayan Banking Berhad v. Tan Soek Phee & Ors

The Court of Appeal heard two related appeals concerning professional negligence claims against solicitors. The appellant, Malayan Banking Berhad, sought recovery of legal fees and damages for loss of chance due to the respondents' (solicitors) failure to properly handle loan recovery cases. The High Court had partially allowed the claim for legal fees but dismissed the claim for loss of chance. The Court of Appeal allowed the bank's appeal, awarding additional damages of RM622,006.00, while dismissing the solicitors' cross-appeal.
