Chancellor laments shortage of judges

While recently boasting of  strides made by the judiciary, particularly in eliminating the case-backlog, acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Yonette Cummings-Edwards also lamented the shortage of judges which continues to plague it. 

The Chancellor was at the time addressing a gathering two weeks ago at the launch of the Electronic Notice Boards at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

It was there that she made an appeal for adequate staffing of the judiciary, stating that the 13 judges altogether currently presiding in the three High Courts across each of the three counties, were inadequate.
