New online system to track court cases

Justice Minister launches new IT system for legal professionals

Justice Minister Owen Bonnici launched a new IT system, which will give lawyers, notaries and legal procurators 24-hour online access to all information about every act in the civil courts.

This means that they will no longer have to queue up at the civil registry in the Law Courts to track the progress of their cases.

Bonnici said that the first phase of this project will incorporate cases from the superior and inferior civil courts. The system will be extended to include legal mandates by December of this year.  

“The aim of this service is for it to become an online depository of every document that exists in the Civil Registry,” Bonnici said.

“Legal professionals need this information to be accessible from everywhere,” Bonnici said. “This system recognizes that need and is part of the ongoing justice reform.

 The system was designed and developed by the Malta Information Technology Agency. It will be accessible online through PCs, tablets and smartphones from https://justice.gov.mt.
