Common questions

Which court will hear my case in Kelantan?

It depends on the amount claimed. The Magistrates' Court hears claims up to RM100,000, the Sessions Court up to RM1,000,000, and the High Court above that. Your lawyer will file in the correct court.

How long does a civil suit take in Malaysia?

A straightforward matter may resolve in one to two years; complex or appealed cases take longer. Many disputes settle before trial through negotiation or mediation.

What is the limitation period for a civil claim?

Most contract and tort claims must be brought within six years under the Limitation Act 1953. Some claims have shorter periods, so seek advice early.
