The remote trial mechanism was launched to give concrete substance to the values of openness and communication concerning the different measures taken to fight the spread of Covid-19, the CSPJ underlined in a press release, noting that more than 10,000 inmates have benefited from the system during this same period, without having to go to courts.
The Council reiterated its continued commitment to this project launched in the various judicial districts of the Kingdom to allow the courts to fulfill their constitutional duties and to enshrine the right to a fair trial within a reasonable deadline.
The institution underlined the sense of responsibility and commitment of all components of the judicial system, while calling on all stakeholders to strictly respect the recommended preventive and precautionary measures, in order to avoid the risks associated with the spread of the pandemic.
