Officials tour Magistrates’ Court

OFFICIALS OF THE JUDICIARY and other state agencies toured magistrates’ courts across the island yesterday as the issue of security took centre stage.

The tour, which stopped first at the District “F” Court in St Joseph, was led by Registrar of the Supreme Court, Barbara Cooke-Alleyne. The St Matthias Court in Christ Church and Coroner’s Court in Roebuck Street, The City, were also visited.

Among officials departing from the Supreme Court complex yesterday were Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson, agents of Town & Country Planning Development Office, Royal Barbados Police Force, Ministry of Housing and Lands’ Project Office, Attorney General’s Chambers and the Registration Department.

Cooke-Alleyne, describing the tour as “productive”, told the DAILY NATION it was meant to allow them to see where they could “rectify the vulnerabilities” observed at each court. (TKS)
