“Contempt of Court in Malaysia: Practice and Procedure is a serious and comprehensive effort from a practitioner’s point of view and the extensive research on this subject adds value to the study and practice of the law on contempt in Malaysia.
 
From the Foreword by
Dato’ Mah Weng Kwai
Retired Court of Appeal Judge, Malaysia
 
About the Book
 
The rules embodied in the law of contempt are intended to uphold and ensure the effective administration of justice. They serve to protect the integrity of the administration of justice, making sure that persons who seek justice and persons who participate in the administration of justice are adequately safeguarded.
 
There being no specific legislation enacted to date on contempt of court in Malaysia, the law governing this subject is primarily common law. This book serves as an important and uptodate source of reference on committal proceedings for practitioners, academics and judicial officers alike. Covering both civil and criminal contempt, it contains the fruit of extensive research into local and UK case law as well as decisions from other Commonwealth jurisdictions like Singapore and Hong Kong. A useful discussion of the freedom of expression and its impact on contempt of court is included, as is a survey of the reform and development of the law of contempt in several Commonwealth countries.
 
Committal proceedings being very procedural in nature, an extensive chapter provides detailed discussion of the law, procedure and relevant considerations in committals. Sentencing principles, mitigation and the types of sentences which may be imposed for contempt are given due analysis, while appeals against the decisions of the courts are also discussed. A helpful collection of forms and precedents applicable to the conduct of committal proceedings complements the valuable legal analysis contained in this book.
