Comments and Exchange #counterclaim

This guide introduces counterclaims in Malaysian civil litigation and when they may be appropriate for Defendants. It highlights common scenarios where a Defendant’s losses or unpaid sums can be pursued against the Plaintiff in the same case, rather than through separate proceedings. The summary also underscores that a counterclaim should be approached strategically and properly pleaded, as it is more than simply denying liability-it is an affirmative claim that must be supported by facts and legal basis.
