This is an enactment of May 1, 1952, "to amend the law relating to the constitution and powers of the civil and criminal courts." It reconstitutes Brunei's court system, making certain revisions to the Courts Enactment of 1908 (but retaining the same basic structure). See Section 17(2) (p.37) for the Religious Council, unmentioned in the Enactment of 1908. The Enactment names neither the Sultan nor the British Resident, and does not specify an author or enacting authority.
