Cases at St Catherine courts to be rescheduled due to fire
Published:Monday | July 25, 2022 | 9:44 AM
The administrative office for the St Catherine Parish Court has been closed until further notice following yesterday's fire.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated by the Jamaica Fire Brigade and the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
Arson is suspected.
Chief Parish Court Judge Chester Crooks says due to the damage caused by the blaze, full operations of the main court and its outstations in Linstead, Old Harbour and Portmore will be impacted in the short term.
“Access to the court's office will be scaled-down until further notice,” said Crooks.
He said matters previously scheduled for the main parish court and its outstations will still be heard.
Members of the public who have matters listed for Monday, July 25 should therefore attend court in order to be advised of the new dates for their cases.
