An initiative will be launched in Dominica to address outstanding and serious court matters.
High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson Brooks says the Dominica Bar Association will be asked to assist the court with matters which has not been heard over several years.
“We are going to have some new initiatives from the bench and the magistrates to move the outstanding criminal matters along. I don’t want to say the figure less some of you be distraught. But the figure of outstanding indictable matters on the island is astronomical and its way too much work for the magistrates that we have,” Brooks said.
She added that the court will be reaching out to members of the bar to assist in bringing down the pending indictable matters and “they are a lot” she said.

BEHANSIN CONTRACT IS NOT REKNEWED BECAUSE HE DO NOT SING THE SONG LIKE MR. DOMINICA IAN DOUGLAS

2)the dual citizenship case against skewo and pepA
This is an indication that some of these matters may be thrown out, due to witnesses not wanting to continue, some persons may have gotten some sort of compensation, witnesses may be overseas, among other things. It’s a 50/50 chance that all will ever be heard.
