Contact

One inbox, and four things it is for: general enquiries, corrections to a page, requests to see what data is held about you, and requests to take a page down.

Everything below goes to the same address — [email protected]. Naming the request in the subject line is what gets it handled as the right kind of request rather than as general mail.

General enquiries

Questions about what MY Case Law is, how it is compiled, what it covers and what it leaves out. The about page and the methodology answer most of these already, and are quicker than waiting for a reply.

Corrections — something on a page is wrong

This is the route for a factual error: a misspelled name, a judgment attributed to the wrong judge or the wrong court, a wrong date, a case listed against counsel who did not appear in it, a broken link to the source. Include the URL of the page and what specifically is wrong; a pointer to the judgment makes it faster, because every correction is checked against the primary source before anything changes.

One honest limit, the same one stated on our privacy page: where the published judgment itself is the source of the error, the correction that matters is the one made by the court or by the publisher of the judgment. We will say so plainly rather than quietly drop the request — and we can still correct how the judgment is represented on this site. The full policy, including what we review and what we decline, is our corrections and data-removal policy.

Data access and data correction requests

Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Act 709) gives an individual the right to ask what personal data is held about them, and to ask for it to be corrected where it is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date. Both requests come to the address above. This site handles personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Principles set out in the PDPA 2010, and applies them to how it is built regardless of whether any particular part of the Act is engaged by a free, advertising-funded reference site.

In practice very little is held: correspondence sent to us, and — for someone named in a written judgment — the information already in that public record. There is no charge for a request and no lawyer is needed to make one. What is held, and what is deliberately never published about individuals named as parties, is set out on the privacy page, which also names the escalation route to the Personal Data Protection Commissioner if a request is not handled to your satisfaction.

Removal requests — asking for a page to come down

Distinct from a correction: this is the route for asking that a page about you, or about your firm or organisation, be removed from this site rather than fixed. It is also the route for a copyright or other rights complaint about material on a page. Include the URL and the reason; it helps to say whether the objection is to the page existing at all or to something specific on it, because those are answered differently.

Two things worth knowing before writing. Pages about individuals named as parties in judgments are already excluded — permanently, at every case count and every stage of the site's rollout — so if that is the concern, no request is needed; the privacy page explains the rule and how it is enforced. And removing a page from this site does not remove the judgment from the public record, which stays where the court published it.

What this inbox cannot answer

It is a reference site, not a practice. Questions about an individual legal situation, a live matter, a deadline, or what a judgment means for a particular set of facts fall outside what anyone here can properly respond to, and go unanswered rather than answered badly. Those belong with a qualified Malaysian advocate and solicitor. Nor can this inbox pass a message to a judge, a court, a law firm or anyone else named on the site — there is no relationship with any of them; the pages are compiled from the published record. Court registry enquiries belong with the Malaysian Judiciary.
