Supreme Court @ 150 durbar: E-filing, court automation will take off October 1 — Chief Justice
The Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has announced that the Judiciary will begin electronic filing, electronic authentication and electronic service of court processes from October 1, this year.
Speaking at a grand durbar to climax the Supreme Court's 150th anniversary celebration, Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie said the automation of court processes would start with the Supreme Court, before being extended to the Court of Appeal and the High Court.
The Chief Justice said the reforms were driven by the need to sustain public confidence in the Judiciary, which he described as an institution's most valuable but most fragile asset because it cannot be legislated or bought, only earned by successive generations of judges.
