The Star BY VANES DEVINDRAN
KUALA LUMPUR: The legal practice in Malaysia now has its very own home-grown edition of The White Book, the Malaysian Civil Procedure 2013.
Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Arifin Zakaria, who launched it yesterday, said the availability of these references would be instrumental to the elevation of the standard of Malaysian legal practice and the quality of legal education in Malaysia.
“The publication of the Malaysian edition of The White Book is most timely following the introduction of the Rules of Court 2012.
“The Bench and the Bar in Malaysia will benefit the most as they finally have specific references in so far the civil court practices are concerned,” he said.
Arifin said that in 1980, Malaysia adopted the English Rules of the Supreme Court 1965 in the form of the Rules of the High Court 1980.
At the same time, he said the Subordinate Courts Rules 1980 were promulgated to regulate the conduct of civil cases in the subordinate courts.
He said that over the years, the practice in both High Courts and subordinate courts in Malaysia had gone through several developments.
He said there was a great need to simplify and standardise civil procedure in the courts to raise the quality of the Malaysian justice system.
He said the rules committee therefore deemed it necessary for a comprehensive review of the rules of procedure for High Courts and the subordinate courts.
Arifin said the Malaysian Civil Procedure brought together virtually all Malaysian material relevant to civil practice in Malaysia.
“I am confident the Malaysian Civil Procedure would be an indispensable tool to practitioners appearing before the court. The book can be relied on with utmost confidence,” he said.
The Malaysian Civil Procedure 2013 features must-have court litigation references that provide illuminating commentary on the new Malaysian Rules of Court 2012.
