Court registries will close at midday today owing to a staff Christmas lunch for the judicial department.

Included in the services affected will be the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal registries in the Government Administration Building and the Dame Lois Browne-Evans Building, as well as the Magistrates’ Court reception desk and cashier windows.

Anyone who needs to file documents was asked to do so before midday.

Urgent requests can be sent to the relevant court e-mails: courtofappeal@gov.bm, supremecourt@gov.bm and magistratescourt@gov.bm.
