CJ wants criminal cases dispensed in 2-3 years

Chief Jus­tice Ron­nie Boodoos­ingh has ex­pressed hope that crim­i­nal cas­es can even­tu­al­ly be de­ter­mined in un­der three years at some point dur­ing his tenure.

Boodoos­ingh re­vealed the am­bi­tious goal yes­ter­day, while be­ing in­ter­viewed by me­dia per­son­nel on the one- year an­niver­sary of his ap­point­ment.

Dur­ing the event at the Wa­ter­front Ju­di­cial Cen­tre in Port-of-Spain, Boodoos­ingh out­lined nu­mer­ous mea­sures that have been in­tro­duced over the past year to help re­duce in­ef­fi­cien­cy in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of jus­tice, in­clud­ing in the much-ma­ligned crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem.
