Chief Justice laments slow pace of justice in T&T

Chief Jus­tice Ron­nie Boodoos­ingh has called on ju­di­cial of­fi­cers and court staff to work hard and less from home to make the Ju­di­cia­ry more ef­fi­cient and pro­duc­tive.

Boodoos­ingh made the call yes­ter­day as he presided over his first Law Term open­ing since be­ing ap­point­ed last year to re­place for­mer chief jus­tice Ivor Archie af­ter his re­tire­ment.

In his speech, Boodoos­ingh laid out his vi­sion for the Ju­di­cia­ry to car­ry out its con­sti­tu­tion­al man­date with in­tegri­ty, fair­ness, in­de­pen­dence, trans­paren­cy, ef­fi­cien­cy and time­li­ness.
