A commonly asked question is how litigation searches are performed at courts in Cambodia. To date, we are aware of no unified comprehensive searchable database of court filings/records. To the best of our knowledge searches are conducted manually by court officials and the public has no open access to search records/filings at any court in Cambodia.

A litigation search at the Court of First Instance in Phnom Penh may be done by submitting a request letter. The time required to obtain search results depends on how old the company is and if the subject of the search request the legal entity (company) itself or relating to the named shareholders of the company.

Court decisions and decisions of official bodies are generally not published and often not written.
