A motion for the Parliament to debate the Gozo Court was tabled this evening by Labour MP Justyne Caruana.

The motion notes that all those involved in the judiciary process in Gozo had always felt the need for a change in the court's way of operation.

The Gozo Court had certain limitations, as a result of which certain procedures could not be assigned to it to the detriment of Gozitans.

The motion proposes that the committee which was in charge of the codification of laws would carry out an exercise to evaluate the Code of Organisation and Civil Procedure and prepare a bill with the right amendments for debate in the House.

All this should be done for the Gozo Court to be given the dignity of a Superior Court with a sitting judge for Gozo.
