Government says it has funds available for the procurement of the furniture and equipment for the Family Court, but that it is awaiting approval of the rules by the Rules Committee of the High Court.
Informed sources said the administration has set a deadline of mid-February 2011 for the Family Court to be operational and has since communicated this to acting Chancellor of the Judiciary Justice Carl Singh, who heads the Rules Committee.
The Rules Committee is said to be currently considering the rules after a formal delivery of the rules was made to the Chancellor last week, a source said.
