Court of Appeal should have permanent panel of judges for Sabah and Sarawak, says senior lawyer

KUCHING: The Court of Appeal should have a permanent panel of judges based in Sabah and Sarawak to speed up the hearing of appeal cases originating in both states, says a senior Sarawakian lawyer.

Tan Kee Heng said at present there was only a sub-registry of the Court of Appeal and Federal Court in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, which was set up in 2007 to facilitate the filing and service of documents.
