The Judiciary has leveraged technology to improve service delivery. The Case Management System enables electronic payment of court fees, fines and deposits with generation of online invoices and receipts. While appreciating the role of the other justice actors and the different stages of digitization of their operations and in recognition of the challenges experienced by a large number of litigants in obtaining the online documents, the following guidelines are issued— 1. COURT PROCEEDINGS (a) All pleas shall be registered by 9.00 a.m. The Court Users’ Committees shall guide in instances where it is practically impossible to effect registration by 9.00 a.m. (b) Every Plea Taking Court shall have two court assistants. The first court assistant shall serve the magistrate by calling files and any other duty of the court as provided.
