Abstract

In Malaysia, the Civil and Shariah judiciary systems stand side by side for more than 50 years, adhering to their own different jurisdictions. Today, both courts move forward tremendously with the introduction of electronic case management systems. The Civil Court‟s E-Judiciary project consists of four different systems that cover the whole court processes from filing of cases through hearing to case disposal. On the other side, Shariah Court‟s E-Shariah project incorporates all the processes in one comprehensive system application. At the implementation stage, both courts faced with different legal issues and challenges, and dealt with them their own way. This paper traces the development, implementation and legal issues faced in both Civil and Shariah judiciary systems in Malaysia in the course of introducing electronic case management systems
