| Summary: | This study reviews the initial results
of efforts by the Federal Court of Malaysia to improve
judicial performance, especially in the areas of backlog and
delay reduction. It was written at the request of the Court
and was intended to evaluate progress to date, suggest how
the program might be improved, and provide recommendations
on further actions in a second phase reform. The work is
based on documents and statistics made available by the
Court, two weeks of fieldwork (January 2011) in Putrajaya
(the Federal Government Administrative Center and seat of
the Federal Court and Court of Appeal) and the High Courts
in the two largest court complexes, Kuala Lumpur and Shah
Alam, and a follow-up visit in May 2011 to discuss the
preliminary conclusions with the Judiciary and also to
update material on this rapidly moving program. While
intended as an external review of the Malaysian
Judiciary's recent reform efforts, the study describes
a model and lessons applicable to court systems elsewhere
that are facing similar problems or wishing to improve other
aspects of their performance. |
