Dear Members of the Kuala Lumpur Bar,
The Civil Practice and Court Liaison Committee recently had a meeting with the Kuala Lumpur Courts where we exchanged feedback regarding the administration of the courts and officers and the practice of law. The Courts have made the following observations and requests:
1. Members drinking in open court while Court is in session. Members are requested to either seek permission to drink or to do so outside the courtroom.
2. When appearing in the Subordinate Courts and wishing to submit in English, Members are requested to seek permission before doing so.
3. Members are requested to be appropriately attired for open court matters. Click here for the Court Attire Guidelines.
Thank you.
Regards,
