The Dominica Bar Association has raised significant concerns regarding the recent initiative by the Ministry of Legal Affairs to extend court hours at the Magistrates’ Court. The new schedule, which introduces evening sittings from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM starting September 8, 2025, aims to improve access to justice and reduce case backlogs. While the Association acknowledges these objectives as commendable, it has highlighted several potential challenges that could undermine the initiative’s effectiveness.
