KOTA KINABALU: Sabah lawyers are concerned that an amendment to the Arbitration Act in 2018 will circumvent the exclusive protection for them to practice in the state.

Sabah Law Society president Roger Chin said that the 2018 amendments would allow for foreign and peninsular Malaysia lawyers in arbitration cases to practice in Sabah without being registered in line with the Sabah Advocates Ordinance.

The SLS believes that the new Section 3A should not be used as an attempt to circumvent the provisions of Section 8 of the Sabah Advocates Ordinance which gives the exclusive right to advocates who are registered under the Sabah Advocates Ordinance to practice in Sabah, he said on Sunday .
