Help clear the backlog in our courts

IT IS said that justice delayed is justice denied; an old but valid criticism of a courts system that doesn’t work properly in the interests of the citizen.

That is why people should vote yes to the establishment of a new Court of Appeal. Passing this referendum will speed up the appeals process from the High Court as a new court will be set up at a level between the High Court and the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land.

At present, there are long delays in having appeals heard by the Supreme Court and the new Court of Appeal would play a crucial role in clearing the large backlog that currently exists in the Supreme Court system.
