Can you draft for me a "simple agreement"?






Legally enforceable agreements are tools to help businesses operate smoothly.

Business contracts provide necessary legal protections that you need in any operation.
Not only do contracts minimize risk, but they protect both you and your company by helping you understand your rights and obligations under each agreement.

There is no "simple agreement" , each agreement must contain the necessary clauses to make it enforceable and fulfill its purpose.

A written agreement, outlines the terms and conditions of a business arrangement and serves as a record of the expectations and obligations of each party.

In Malaysia, written agreements are important for businesses for several reasons:

  1. Legal protection: A written agreement provides legal protection for both parties in case of disputes or breaches of contract. It can help to clarify any misunderstandings and provide a clear framework for resolving any issues.

  2. Clarity and understanding: A written agreement ensures that all parties are on the same page regarding the terms and conditions of the business arrangement. This can help to avoid misunderstandings and ensure that all parties understand their obligations.

  3. Enforceability: A written agreement is easier to enforce in court than an oral agreement. This means that if one party breaches the contract, the other party can take legal action to seek compensation or other remedies.

  4. Professionalism: Having a written agreement in place can demonstrate professionalism and commitment to the business relationship. It shows that both parties are taking the arrangement seriously and are willing to invest the time and effort to ensure its success.

Overall, a written agreement is an essential tool for businesses in Malaysia as it helps to establish clear expectations, prevent misunderstandings, and provide legal protection in case of disputes. It is important for all parties to carefully review and understand the terms of the agreement before signing to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.

I merely shared a defamatory statement made by someone else, am i liable for Defamation?

Image
 WELL YES! A republication of a defamatory statement is also considered to be defamatory. In the case of YB Hj Khalid bin Abdul Samad v Datuk Aziz bin Isham & Anor [2012] 7 MLJ 301, the High Court quoted Gatley on Libel and Slander (8th Ed), at p 117 which states that "every republication of a libel is a new libel and each publisher is answerable for his act to the same extent as if the calumny originated with him". Accordingly, every repost or share of a defamatory statement is considered a new publication because those who do so are deemed to have approved, endorsed or repeated the same. This position was reiterated in the recent Court of Appeal case of Raja Syahrir bin Abu Bakar & Anor v Manjeet Singh Dhillon and other appeals [2019] MLJU 75. Therefore please be careful with what you share in social media as this can land you in very expensive litigation.

Unlocking the Legal Potential of Whatsapp: How Chat Messages Hold Weight in Debt Recovery Cases

Image
One question that frequently arises in legal discussions is whether Whatsapp messages can be utilized as evidence in court, even in debt recovery cases. Many individuals mistakenly assume that Whatsapp's informal nature would render its messages inadmissible. However, let me tell you an interesting story that showcases the contrary. Consider a recent debt recovery case, where Mr. Lee was pursuing payment from Mr. Tan, who had borrowed a substantial sum of money. Frustrated with the lack of progress, Mr. Lee decided to turn to Whatsapp messages as evidence of their loan agreement. Now, you might wonder, would these seemingly casual chats hold any weight in a courtroom? The answer is a resounding yes! Allow me to introduce you to the captivating case of Mok Yii Chek v Sovo Sdn Bhd & Ors [2015] MLRHU 196.
