The renovated and refurbished Court Building is designed to support the Judiciary’s mission of delivering high-quality and efficient justice services. The enhancements include the provision of physical access to the disabled and upgraded courtrooms to accommodate the increasing levels of litigation.

The commissioning ceremony will be graced by the presence of Governor General Dame Froyla Tzalam, Prime Minister John Briceño; Leader of the Opposition, Moses Barrow; Government Ministers, members of the Judiciary, representatives from the diplomatic corps, members from the legal fraternity, public and civil officials, distinguished guests and members of the press.
