The Supreme Judiciary Council (SJC) has extended the suspension of sessions of the Court of Appeal, Court of First Instance, Labour Disputes Settlement Committee and the Rental Disputes Settlement Committee for a period of two weeks starting from Sunday.
The move is part of precautionary and preventive measures taken by the state to curb the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
In a press statement, SJC affirmed that the judges continue to work in the consideration of urgent and time related matters and to set new dates for postponed hearings. The Court of Cassation will continue to holding its sessions on the dates specified for them in advance.
The SJC provides a system of service to the public during the suspension of hearings by allocating an email address to receive all their inquiries and respond to them according to the jurisdiction of each court, in addition to organizing the work of the alternate judges for each court to consider and decide requests and urgent matters with the formation of teams supporting all courts to serve the litigants.
The statement emphasised the continuation of all services provided through the external service centres according to the previously established dates, and requests for the registration of urgent cases and appeals through the electronic portal of the council or attendance at a prior date will continue to be submitted.
The statement appealed that the public, in the event of the utmost necessity of attendance, take into consideration taking urgent and prior appointments through the means of communication provided by the Council.
