About this statute

This Act sets the procedure for civil matters in the Syariah Courts of the Federal Territories, including starting cases, service of documents, parties, representation, and enforcement. This provision sets procedure for pleadings, interpleader issues, payments into court, amendments, disclosure, transfers, withdrawals, evidence, hearings, judgments, appeals, and enforcement. This provision sets out how the court may extend or fix time for doing an act, how execution of judgments is issued and carried out, and how judgment debtor and interim applications are handled. The court may start contempt proceedings, order up to 6 months’ committal or a fine up to RM2,000, and must give a fair hearing and proper notice rules depending on where the contempt happened. This part provides standard Syariah court forms for subpoenas, affidavits, appeal notices, execution orders, and related notices.
