n Friday, September 27th , there will be no sittings at the Criminal Division of the Supreme Court of Barbados, including Criminal Courts 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 5, and 5A. Additionally, no hearings will take place at any magistrates’ courts across the island during this period. However, the offices of the respective magistrates’ courts and the other departments of the Registration Department will remain open.

The Registration Department regrets and apologises for any inconvenience these closures may
cause.
