Supreme Court: Year in Review
Table 7 illustrates the total number of Civil matters filed over the last four (4) years. The figures for the 2013 Law Year show a increase of some 3% in the number of Civil matters filed when compared to the 2012 Law Year. ( not taking into account administrative enrolment applications filed by prospective barristers and notaries). A framework for measuring civil disposal rates will hopefully be developed in the course of 2014. This will likely identify how many final judgments/ orders are made and how many interlocutory orders are made as many civil cases ( notably winding- up proceedings ) actively continue for many years. Divorce and Probate cases are dealt with separately below.
