Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service

2:00 am

Ms Angela Denning:

We have come from a very low base and we have improved dramatically. We now have 165 tech-enabled courts nationwide. We have Wi-Fi in every courthouse in the country, apart from the CCJ. That will be sorted out this summer. There were problems with the Wi-Fi there.

There is work ongoing on a new, single case management system where all of our cases across all jurisdictions and all case types will be dealt with in the one system with staff having one view, the judges having a different view and the ability for practitioners to lodge their cases online. The first part of that, which is the staff part, has gone live for the High Court civil work, for the probate office, and for family law in the Circuit Court. The portal part, which is the judicial view and the practitioner view, has gone live for Circuit Court family law in Dublin as a pilot in recent weeks.
