What to bring
  • Relevant contracts, tenancy agreements or transaction documents.
  • Invoices, receipts, payment statements and calculations of the disputed amount.
  • Letters, emails and messages about the dispute.
  • Court documents or judgments already received.
  • A brief timeline of events and names of witnesses who may help.

Steps in a civil claim involving a substantial factual dispute

  1. Consider mediation

    For civil cases in court, explore mediation through Pusat Mediasi Mahkamah Seremban. [4] [5]

  2. Assess grounds and prepare a writ

    Check the claim's grounds, time limits and evidence. A claim involving a substantial factual dispute must be started by writ. [2]

  3. File and serve the claim

    After filing the claim, serve the claim documents on the other party within the set time limit. [7]

  4. Act promptly if you receive a writ

    For writs served within Malaya's jurisdiction, the usual time to enter an appearance is 14 days after service. After judgment is entered, defendants may only enter an appearance with the court's permission. [13]

  5. Prepare the case for trial

    Meet filing deadlines unless the court allows an extension. Failure to follow court directions may lead to your claim being dismissed. [8]

  6. Manage judgment and enforcement

    After obtaining judgment against the other party, serve it first. A garnishee application can be used against money in the judgment debtor's bank account to cover the amount owed. [9]

Common questions

Can I handle my own case?

Individuals may represent themselves in court. Consider the complexity of the issues and the risks before proceeding without a lawyer. [7]

Which court handles ordinary money claims?

For ordinary money claims, the Magistrates' Court hears claims up to RM100,000. The Sessions Court hears claims from RM100,001 to RM1 million. The High Court has unlimited monetary jurisdiction. The type of remedy sought must also be considered. [1]

Can I be ordered to pay the other party's costs?

Yes. In civil litigation, the losing party usually has to pay the successful party's costs. Consider this risk when deciding whether to pursue a claim or accept a settlement. [8]

How soon must I act to appeal a lower court's final judgment?

For a final civil judgment appealable to the High Court, file a Notice of Appeal within 14 days of the judgment date at the registry of the court that decided the case. If the disputed amount or subject matter's value is RM10,000 or less, appeals are limited to questions of law. [7] [10]
