The Judiciary is moving to resume in-person hearings at its Magistrates’/District Courts when the new 2026/2027 Law Term opens next month.

The move, which seeks to improve access to justice, was announced in a press release issued yesterday.

The release stated that in-person hearings will immediately resume at all its courts except the Port-of-Spain and Scarborough District Courts, where such hearings are expected to resume next year.
