MEDIA RELEASE

19th August 2021

August Land Court Schedule Continues

Please be advised that the matters scheduled for Land Court for the month of August will continue as scheduled during Alert Level 2. However, due to travel restrictions caused by the evolving Covid situation, Zoom web conferencing technology will be used to link both Rarotonga and Aitutaki courthouses to allow those on Rarotonga and Aitutaki to attend court.

For example, if you are on Rarotonga and wanted to attend a land court matter scheduled in Aitutaki, you would instead report to the Rarotonga courthouse to be part of the Zoom meeting linked with Aitutaki.

As a reminder, due to Alert Level 2, the Ministry may limit the number of persons gathered in the courtroom or in the foyer to ensure social distancing. Furthermore, everyone visiting a Ministry of Justice courthouse/office must register their visit by using their Cooksafe card or registering at a computer station by the main building entrance.

Should you have any questions, please contact Ministry of Justice Court staff.
