Court Jurisdiction Explained
Summary
In Malaysia, original jurisdiction allows courts to hear cases first, while appellate jurisdiction lets them review lower court decisions. Revisionary jurisdiction involves higher courts correcting lower court errors, applicable in both civil and criminal cases under Section 31 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964. Review jurisdiction allows courts to re-examine their own decisions, mainly in civil cases, under Order 42 Rule 13 of the Rules of Court 2012. Courts can change decisions if new evidence or clerical errors are found. Applications for revision or review require filing motions with supporting documents within specified deadlines.Full Conversation
