BAD OLD DAYS


Tan Chwee Geok v  Khaw Yen- Yen (1975) 2 MLJ 188
" In the bad old days of England   from where we took our rules, if you put a comma wrong you were thrown out of Court , so strict were there about technicalities.

But over the years this strictness gave way to common sense, and every time the Rules were amended it was with the object of removing fussy technicalities and making it easier for the parties to get justice." Lord President Suffian
