The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our court’s closures. During these times, the realities of practising law will have to be balanced between upholding and administering justice and ascertaining whether cases at hand are appropriate to be progressed with the support of technology. Our legal industry is faced with unprecedented disruptions that has forced the Judiciary, the Malaysian Bar and even litigants to find alternative ways in running dispute resolution proceedings. Therefore, a Remote Hearing Protocol has been drafted as a proposal in order to aid the process of participation in a virtual hearing.
This CPD Live Session will explain the said Protocol and also facilitate an exchange of views on how the Bar is to move forward in this current public health crisis.

CPD Live is an initiative by the Bar Council during the Movement Control Order, so that Members and pupils are not deprived of continuous learning even at this time.
