00:00The Sabah government threw a surprise when it intervened in the Federal Attorney General's
00:07appeal against the High Court decision to grant the Sabah Law Society SLS leave to challenge
00:13the 40% special interim grant provisions.
00:17Reporters were later told that if the Sabah government did not intervene then, there was
00:22a risk that its rights to challenge the federal government could be extinguished without ever
00:27being heard.
00:28The three-member Court of Appeal panel granted the Sabah government's application to be an
00:33intervener and co-appellant in the appeal against the leave granted to the SLS by the
00:38Kota Kinabalu High Court on Thursday.
00:40It will decide on whether SLS will proceed with its judicial review on the state's 40%
00:46revenue rights until May 24 for case management.
00:50The issue refers to Sabah's claim to the return of the net revenue collected by the federal
00:55government in the state as enshrined in the federal constitution.
