Written byGeorgetta Williams
Justice Minister Delroy Chuck says he expects court proceedings to resume in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland and Black River, St. Elizabeth, after new locations were secured to replace the facilities.
Both courts were severely damaged during Hurricane Melissa last October.
Mr. Chuck said a lease agreement has already been signed for the Savanna-la-Mar Parish Court and it’s now being set up to allow the staff to move there.
He noted that a lease agreement is being negotiated for the Black River Parish Court.
