Hujah Bertulis (Written Submissions) at the Syariah Court

Written submissions are a document that lays out your side’s facts, law and arguments in writing, usually filed after witness evidence is heard during a full trial.

They help the judge see the whole shape of your case in an organised way, rather than relying only on oral evidence given during the hearing.

A Peguam Syarie usually prepares written submissions for a complex case, but a wakil diri party can also prepare their own under the court’s directions.

The court usually sets a deadline for filing written submissions, so plan your time so you do not miss it after the full trial.
