The following is issued on behalf of the Judiciary: 

     As the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 has been cancelled, the Judiciary has announced that all court and tribunal hearings will resume or be held as scheduled tomorrow (September 9).

     Those who were due to attend court hearings today (September 8) but were affected by the issuance of the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8, including jurors, should do so at 9.30am tomorrow.

     Court/tribunal registries and offices will open at 3.10pm today. Before that, court users may use the integrated Court Case Management System (iCMS) for those electronic services that have been implemented at individual court/tribunal registries as usual. Any documents filed via the iCMS during the registries’ closure will be deemed received upon their reopening.

     It is anticipated that there will be a significant number of people going to court tomorrow, so court users are advised to arrive at the court buildings earlier, especially during busy periods in the morning or after lunch.
