Recent developments in the judicial field

Evaluation of the maltese judicial system by CEPEJ experts: A CEPEJ delegation visited Malta to meet the highest representatives in the country in the field of justice and to discuss the implementation of CEPEJ's recommendations with public stakeholders and legal professionals in order to improve the functioning and the efficiency of the maltese judicial system. The delegation had in particular an exchange of views with the Ministry of Justice, M. Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici, on 23 November 2011

04/12/2009 - CEPEJ delegation meets members of the Judiciary

A new code of administrative justice has been introduced. Amendments to the procedure governing civil enforcement (possibility of seizing shares in commercial companies; payment orders for debts of up to €8,000) and the length of proceedings (3-year limit; possibility for the president of the court to take a judge off a case) have also been introduced. In family law, arbitration can be used to divide up property.
