Contempt law should be codified


THE Malaysian Bar welcomes the decision of the Court of Appeal to set aside the contempt of court order issued against Sarawakian lawyer Shankar Ram Asnani.

The Kuching High Court had on Jan 12 cited Shankar for contempt as he was allegedly one month late in filing documents. On March 18, the Court of Appeal reversed the decision and the contempt order.
