The Judiciary has announced the temporary closure of the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court and its office as of Wednesday January 5th until Monday January 10th to effect sanitization “as a precautionary measure given exposure to the Covid-19 virus.”
It notes that “the usual precautions and protocols are being adopted.”
The notice comes on the heels of rising Covid cases and just one day after a similar closure for the said period was announced for the High Court in Georgetown.
The notice advises that urgent matters before the Vigilance court will be done by way of remote hearings during the period for the East Demerara Magisterial District, and that filing of such matters can be facilitated at the registry of the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Persons who had physical hearings scheduled for this period are being asked to contact the Clerk of Court or their attorneys.
Noting that it regrets any inconvenience caused, the Judiciary said that the court at Vigilance and its office will resume operations next Monday and that strict adherence to the Covid-19 protocols will continue to be enforced.
The court may be contacted via Email: Registrar – regsupct@gmail.com or Clerk of Court – roopadeonarine@yahoo.com
