GEORGE TOWN: In a move aimed at widening public access to justice, the Court of Appeal’s circuit sitting was reactivated in Penang to ease longstanding logistical burdens and strengthen legal engagements across the northern region.
Chief Justice Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh said the initiative fulfilled one of the judiciary’s key aspirations, which is to bring justice closer to the people by ensuring that court processes are accessible, responsive and reflective of the needs of litigants.
