The Supreme Court postpones oral hearings
Due du the coronavirus outbreak and the measures implemented by the authorities to limit the spread, the Chief Justice has decided to postpone all oral hearings in the Supreme Court from and including Friday 13 March until and including Thursday 26 March 2020. This period may be extended. Hearings in cases where postponement is inexpedient will nonetheless be held.
The written proceedings of the Supreme Court's Appeals Selection Committee continue as normal. Preparations in cases that have proceeded to the Supreme Court will also continue for the time being.
The Supreme Court's measures are implemented to reduce the risk of contamination and to ensure that the Supreme Court may retain its function as the country's highest court and one of the three state powers.
