What legal threshold must the Federal Court decide?

Question

## The Federal Court must decide whether the case meets the Section 96 leave threshold for a first-time question of public importance.

Accepted Answer

The court is being asked to determine whether Zahid’s bid and the Malaysian Bar’s challenge raise novel constitutional or legal questions of public importance that have not been heard before. Under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964, leave to appeal to the Federal Court is granted only when that threshold is met.
