Small Claim Court: Do-it-yourself (DIY) UPDATE-1st part

Image
My last post on this topic has received a great response from the public. Here is the link to the post. The rules of subordinate court and high courts have changed and now known as Rules of Courts 2012. Under these new rules, the small court claim is maintained under the Rule 93. I don’t see much different under the new rule. I will highlight some important points and ‘technical how’ here:- 1 st part: prepare your form and file it! The same claim limit of not more than RM5,000-00; Whoever wan to claim may do so by using form 198 (can be found inside the Rules or get it from your nearest court) or type it your own (just make sure font, layout, margin, spacing and paragraph are exactly the same); I will try to show you how to fill the formbellow. You need to state your claim amount and detail (story) of your claim in the form; After you are done, sign it or thumb print; Ok if you are done, bring it over the court, find the Registry Office and file it.

Important: Increase of court jurisdiction

Effective 1 st Mach 2013 monetary jurisdictions of Magistrate Courts and Session Courts have been increased:- Magistrate court old jurisdiction up to RM 25, 000.00 now increased to RM 100, 000.00 and Session Courts from RM 250, 000.00 to RM 1 million. Personally I think this is very good as the old limit of RM 25, 000.00 for magistrate courts and RM 250, 000.00 for session courts were no longer practical in modern Malaysia. The amendments even go further on other extended jurisdiction such as injunctions, declaration etc.
