Despite the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic the island’s judicial system has significantly improved since the addition of judges to the Supreme Court almost two years ago.
That is the view of Attorney General Dale Marshall, who today revealed that face-to-face jury trials would be resuming soon.
In October 2019, seven new judges – one Court of Appeal judge, four High Court judges and two temporary High Court judges – were sworn in by Governor General Dame Sandra Mason.
At that time, Marshall said the appointments would help reduce the large backlog and expedite the movement of cases.
