On-going

Way Forward Commitment:

Currently the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador have separate administrative structures. Our Government will work with both court systems to identify opportunities for collaboration and sharing of services in an effort to improve efficiency. This review will begin in 2017-18.

What We’ve Accomplished:

• The Department of Justice and Public Safety has met with the heads of court administration at Supreme Court and Provincial Court to engage in planning for the review.
• The review is completed, however it did not identify the desired efficiencies. As a result JPS continues to review this matter in an effort to identify opportunities for the sharing of services and to improve efficiency.
