The Court Services Agency is carrying out several refurbishments at the Valletta law courts as part of its restructuring plan for a more efficient system.

The most recent investment was a thorough facelift to the press room used by court reporters.

The works cost €6,000 and included a new electricity system, plastering, painting and a new bathroom. “With this initiative, journalists now have a press room from where to work that is equipped with better facilities and a more welcoming environment,” a spokesperson for the agency said.

The investment in the press room follows that in the common room, which is used exclusively by members of the judiciary for them to socialise.
