The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) mobile court has commenced operations in Southlea Park, bringing judicial services closer to residents while seeking to improve access to justice and ease pressure on conventional courts.
By midday today, four cases had already been heard and processed through the mobile court, marking the beginning of its operations in the area.
The mobile court is expected to serve residents from Southlea Park and surrounding communities, including Glen Norah, Glen View and Budiriro, providing an alternative platform for accessing judicial services without having to travel to established court stations.
The initiative is also expected to ease the growing caseload at Harare and Mbare Magistrates’ Courts by decentralising the delivery of judicial services and bringing court proceedings closer to communities.
Through the mobile court system, the JSC seeks to improve convenience for litigants, reduce the burden associated with travelling to conventional courts and enhance the timely handling of cases.
Its presence in high-density suburbs is particularly important for residents who often face financial and logistical challenges in accessing justice.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to improve the efficiency of the justice delivery system through innovative approaches that promote accessibility and reduce delays in the resolution of cases.
