Law of Evidence in Malaysia

Abstract

The Second Edition of Law of Evidence in Malaysia is written by experienced academics. It continues to use simple language to assist students and legal practitioners with an understanding of the evidence law in Malaysia. The chapters have been rearranged to provide better flow and connectivity between them. This Second Edition incorporates three additional chapters, i.e. Judicial Notice in Chapter 8, Production and Examination of Witnesses in Chapter 12 and Estoppel in Chapter 14. The chapter on Judicial Notice covers the application of section 57 of the Evidence Act 1950 as well as judicial notice under the common and general knowledge. The chapter on Estoppel, on the other hand, explores the common law standing on estoppel and that provided under sections 115-117 of the Evidence Act 950.
