Taiwan 's opposition lawmakers reject calls to reconsider a bill to raise the threshold for hearing and deciding cases.

Critics of the bill warn it could paralyse the Constitutional Court and restrict access to justice.

It was one of three amendments approved by the opposition bloc last month that sparked brawls among legislators and drew thousands of protesters to the streets.

The amended bill will be sent to President Lai Ching-te for signing into law, but some legal experts expect it to be challenged in court.
