As persons continue to lament over the backlog of court cases in the High Court, a reprieve may be soon in sight as the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) this week began interviewing candidates to fill positions for judges.
“I am pleased to inform you that the Judicial Service Commission, today, has commenced interviews to fill vacancies of High Court Judges and Land Court Judges. Today the interviews have begun…,” Attorney General Anil Nandlall announced on Tuesday evening during his Issues in the News programme on his Facebook page.
The Attorney General was referring to the complaints of residents, especially in Berbice, who have bemoaned long waiting periods for hearings on pending land court matters. “To those persons who have been waiting for an undue period of time for Land Court Judges in Berbice, the appointment process is ongoing and hopefully we will have Land Court Judges assigned and appointed to Berbice, in a short time.”
