About the Book
 
This publication provides comprehensive and detailed exposition of the law governing the conduct of appeals in civil and criminal matters. It considers all practical issues faced by the litigator in conducting an appeal. The procedural requirements are analysed in depth to clarify the multitude of technicalities inherent in appellate practice. An essential reference for both civil and criminal appellate practice in Malaysia, it provides thorough and well-researched guidance for successful practice in appellate litigation.
 
This edition has been extensively revised and updated to include the recent statutory amendments to the Rules of Court 2012, the Rules of the Court of Appeal 1994, the Rules of the Federal Court 1995, the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 and the Criminal Procedure Code as well as case law relevant to appeals over the past seven years since the third edition. 
 
This is the one and only book in Malaysia which covers the appellate practice and procedure in both civil and criminal appeals annexed with relevant ancillary materials for the handy reference of busy court advocates.
