It is unfair to stonewall the decision to relocate the Registry of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak, say 3 senior lawyers. highcourt sabah sarawak

KOTA KINABALU: Three senior members of Sabah’s legal fraternity are disappointed that the Sarawak Legislative Assembly is against the decision to move the Registry of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak from Kuching to here.

He added that this shared constitutional right was “never envisaged to be and definitely should not be attempted to be monopolised by any particular state”. On Tuesday, the Sarawak assembly urged the state government to resist any move to relocate the registry to Kota Kinabalu. At the same time, it wanted the Sarawak government to undertake all efforts to protect the sanctity of the Federal Constitution.

He said Article 122B of the Federal Constitution was very clear that location of the registry was determined by the Agong acting on the advice of the prime minister, who shall consult the chief ministers of both states and the Chief Judge of the High Court. Decena said consultation was not a pre-condition to reaching a decision, adding the provision in the constitution did not specify when the prime minister should consult the related parties regarding the issue at hand.
