Bila Tiada Mayat — Adakah Pembunuhan Masih Boleh Dibuktikan?
PATHMANABHAN A/L NALLIANNEN & ORS v PP [2013] 5 MLJ 867 Tanpa mayat, ramai anggap tiada pembunuhan. Tiada jasad, kononnya tiada kepastian.

Bila Pemegang Saham Minoriti Ditekan — Dan Bila Janji Saham Jadi Pertikaian Undang-Undang
VENKATESWARA RAO A/L KRISHNAN v FWG GLOBAL SDN BHD & ORS AND ANOTHER SUIT Pegang saham minoriti bukan bermakna kena diam dan telan semua keputusan majoriti.
