Court proceedings to resume in Black River and Savanna-la-Mar before the end of the year - Chuck

Court proceedings are expected to resume in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland and Black River, St Elizabeth, before the end of the year, following the securing of new locations to replace facilities destroyed by Hurricane Melissa.

The disclosure was made by Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Delroy Chuck, during a press briefing on key justice matters at the Ministry’s office in St. Andrew on Friday, October 2.

“A lease has already been signed for the Savanna-la-Mar Court, and it’s now being fitted out so that the staff from Westmoreland can move there and then courts hopefully will start in that particular location, which was meant to be a shopping centre, but we have taken it over,” the Minister informed.
