A fire on Sunday at the St Catherine Parish Court has led to its administrative office being closed until further notice.
That’s according to Chief Judge of the Parish Courts, Chester Crooks, who issued a statement on Monday.
He says due to the damage caused to the court’s office by the fire, full operations of the main court and its outstations will be impacted in the short term.
The outstations include Linstead, Old Harbour and Portmore.
Crooks said matters previously scheduled for the main parish court and its outstations will still be heard.
Members of the public who have matters listed for Monday should therefore attend court in order to be advised of the new dates for their matters.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated by the Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) and the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
