OBJECTIVE
This is the official web site of Sabah Law Courts set up with the aim of promoting transparency and of informing the advocates and the public how the courts function and how cases are being dealt with. This site covers the courts in Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Tawau and Labuan, including the courts in the various districts. You can read the full text of the objective of the site here....Objective.

EVIDENCE DE BENE ESSE
In view of the long waiting time for a civil case to come on for trial the advocates or the parties are well advised to consider applying to the court to have the evidence of, for example, old or seriously ill witnesses, taken first before the trial, that is de bene esse.

LATEST JUDGMENT
Advocates appearing in court in contentious matters are expected to refer to the most recent relevant decisions of the Federal Court or of the Court of Appeal and these can be downloaded by going to this link Latest Decisions.

MASTER SCHEDULES
The master schedules of Clement Skinner J, Nurchaya Arshad J and Yew Jen Kie J will be uploaded as soon as they are available.

HIGH COURT 1 - RESCHEDULING OF TRIAL CASES
There is rescheduling of the the trial cases of High Court I. This is necessary to take into account the leave Ian Chin J will be taking from September 8 to November 7 in order to avoid the accumulated leave days being forfeited. It is also to accommodate more criminal trial cases being registered and criminal cases which the Court of Appeal had reversed Ian Chin J decision but which grounds of decision of the Court of Appeal are still being awaited. Check the Master Schedules for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 to see the new date of trial.
