Court Sessions Dealing With Domestic Violence Up To 8 Weekly

Nov 28 2024

Speaking in parliament, Minister for Justice and Reform in the Construction Sector Jonathan Attard highlighted that court sessions addressing domestic violence have increased from 2 or 3 per week to an average of 8 per week during this legislature.

This is being achieved through the work of three magistrates who, between them, hear summary cases of domestic violence and compile domestic violence case files, the Minister said.

‘The impact of this increase is already being felt, as between January and the end of October this year, 91 compilations were initiated, and 90 were decided.’

‘Additionally, 1,243 summary cases were initiated, and 1,018 cases related to domestic violence were decided.’

The intention is to further expand the Judiciary, concluded Attard, including appointing additional magistrates, to provide even greater attention to this type of case.
