The laying of the foundation stone for the House of Justice Project of the Ministry of Justice, to be built at a total cost of Rs. 16.5 billion, will be done today (25) in Hulftsdorp.
The structures to be built, under four complexes spanning an area of six acres in the case of this project, include a Magistrate’s Court (MC) Complex comprising 12 MCs, the Legal Aid Commission Office, the Registrar’s Office and the Registry, the Ministry and the Judges Training Institute (JTI) Complex which will house the Minister’s and Deputy Minister’s Offices, the office of the Ministry, an Arbitration Centre and the JTI, the High Court (HC) and District Court (DC) Complex made up of eight HCs, four Commercial HCs, one HC of Civil Appeal, 10 DCs, six Labour Tribunals, two Quazi Courts, one Pre-Trial Court and one Small Claim Court, and a Quarters Complex with 40 Judges’ Official Quarters and 110 Officers’ Quarters.
The project seeks to be efficient, planned, and targeted in terms of its use of space and resources, and will feature digitisation and technology. The project is a collaboration with the Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau, with a projected timeframe of three years for the completion of construction, with a completion date of 25 January 2024.
The current Court premises and infrastructure at Hulftsdorp are housed in Colonial-era premises, which, with the expansion of the Courts and the population, has resulted in the current premises being woefully inadequate in terms of being sustainably designed for the current volume of work and population. This has resulted in issues pertaining to space and logistics, and caused severe inconvenience and hardships to litigants, which is unacceptable in the context of the efficient judicial administration of the justice system, which should be citizen focused.
According to an overview of the Ministry's proposed reforms and development, some of the targeted reforms in parallel to the aforementioned project include opening 100 new courthouses islandwide, and commencing work on the process of improving the modernisation and upgrading of all courthouses.
