Work highlights
Represented Kelana Jaya Medical Centre in a widely publicised medical negligence case involving a former national hockey player, successfully defending against vicarious liability claims. The case successfully challenged the common notion that private hospitals are invariably liable through vicarious liability or non-delegable duty when there is liability on the doctor's part.
