There is no government policy or a quota system for the passing percentage for the certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) examination, a CLP Qualifying Board member told the Sessions Court, Monday.The member, High Court Judge Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail, said there was no such instructions or a written policy from the government.

He said results of the main and supplementary examinations of the CLP varied from year to year."In my experience as a board member since 2001, results mostly depend on the standard of question papers and quality of students sitting for the examination for that particular year," he said.He was testifying in the trial of CLP examination director Khalid Yusoff, 51, charged with tampering with the results of the 2001 CLP examination for pecuniary gains at the board's office at Menara Tun Razak in Jalan Raja Laut between August and Sept 13, 2001.
