Kota Kinabalu: The Court of Appeal has fixed Dec 1 for further case management of the Federal Government's appeal against parts of the High Court ruling on Sabah's 40 per cent revenue entitlement for 1974 to 2021.
The date was set during an e-review case management on Thursday, following the hearing of submissions from the parties on Oct 29.
The appeal concerns the High Court's Oct 17, 2025 ruling, which ordered the Federal Government to review Sabah's revenue entitlement with the State Government within 90 days and reach an agreement within 180 days.
The ruling was made by Judge Datuk Celestina Stuel Galid after allowing the Sabah Law Society's (SLS) judicial review application, which challenged the Federal Government's failure to review Sabah's 40 per cent share of federal revenue under Article 112C and the 10th Schedule of the Federal Constitution.
The Federal Government is challenging parts of the ruling, including its findings, orders and timelines, after the Court of Appeal granted a temporary stay on enforcement and negotiations on April 6 this year pending the appeal.
