What is the Dispute Resolution Landscape in Malaysia?
Malaysia has a structured and multi-layered dispute environment. The forum that you end up in usually determines expert evidence preparation. The main arbitration body is AIAC (Asian International Arbitration Centre), formerly KLRCA. It handles most of the high-value construction claim and commercial disputes. It administers arbitrations under the AIAC Arbitration Rules 2023 and operates under the Arbitration Act 2005.
Malaysia also has a dedicated Construction Court system under the High Court of Malaya. The expert evidence here is governed by strict procedural requirements, especially Order 40A of the Rules of Court 2012 that guides experts in presenting and defending their opinions.
ICC arbitration is also common in Malaysia, especially for energy, oil & gas, and cross-border infrastructure projects where international contract structures are involved.
One of the first things that we look at is not merely the technical issues but the forum in which the disputes fit as that shapes how the evidence is built.
