Section 36
(1)
Where a person attends Court as an expert witness, such person may be allowed a fee for attending the Court, and in addition, if allowed by the Court, a fee for qualifying to give evidence as such expert:
Provided that no fee as an expert witness may be allowed in respect of a person attending
Court only to prove the correctness of a plan, drawing, chart, photograph or model.
(2)
The fee for attending Court shall be such sum as the Court thinks reasonable, not exceeding 100 ringgit nor less than the sum prescribed under Schedule II as compensation for loss of time for a person of the class to which the expert witness belongs.
(3)
The fee for qualifying to give evidence shall be such sum as the Court thinks reasonable, not exceeding 200 ringgit:
Provided that if in any particular case the Court is satisfied for special reasons that the fee for qualifying to give evidence ought not to be so limited, the fee shall be such sum as the
Court directs.
(4)
The Court may, if it thinks just, allow the fee for qualifying to give evidence, notwithstanding that the expert witness does not attend the trial.
Witness not called.
