#TurksandCaicos, December 8, 2023 – Imagine filing your legal claims yourself, instantly, at the courthouse. As the country increases the availability of modern resources, both the Magistrate Courts and Supreme Courts in Providenciales and Grand Turk have been provided with kiosks, according to Mabel Agyemang, the TCI Chief Justice.
The kiosks, which are manned by trained personnel, allow self-represented individuals to file claims.
“We have also commenced the expansion of access to North Caicos and Middle Caicos, where we are establishing kiosks at the District Commissioner’s Offices. We are working with the police to expand the service to South Caicos,” the CJ revealed.
It comes as the judiciary utilizes the E-Curia system to go fully digital. The Supreme Court has already gone paperless, and the Court of Appeal will soon stop accepting paper filings as well. Ayemang provided the updates during the Legal Year Opening Ceremony last week on January 4.
