A new magisterial district is to be constituted for the Upper Demerara.
A notice in today’s Stabroek News under the signature of Chancellor of the Judiciary (ag) Yonette Cummings-Edwards said that under the Summary Jurisdiction (Magistrates) Act, it has been determined to be convenient that a new magisterial district for the Upper Demerara River and particularly the Linden/Kwakwani area be established.
The Chancellor therefore ordered that with effect from August 1, 2017, the Upper Demerara River Magisterial District would be created.
The schedule accompanying the order outlines the geographic area of the new district.
