Verify Malaysian Court Formatting
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I am getting ready to file a civil claim in the Sessions Court, Kota Kinabalu, and I need a sharp set of eyes to make sure every page of my paperwork truly follows the Rules of Court 2012. All substantive text is already written; what I need is confirmation that my drafts mirror the First Schedule forms in look and feel.
The task focuses on two document types—affidavits and applications. I will send you clean Word files for each. Your job is to:
• Review spacing, margins, font choice, text alignment, headings, and sequential numbering against ROC 2012 requirements.
• Flag any deviations or, if you prefer, return the files fully corrected and ready to file.
• Highlight any rule-based nuances (for instance, signature blocks or service endorsements) that I may have overlooked.
Delivery is complete when the documents can be printed and lodged with the registry without clerical objections. If you have past experience as a Malaysian court clerk or paralegal, especially in the Sabah courts, please mention it so I know you can navigate the local preferences that never quite make it into the written rules.
I expect the review to be straightforward—four or five short affidavits and two originating applications—so a quick turnaround is welcome.
