A total of 12,248 hearings were held remotely in the various courts of the Kingdom from April 27 to December 25, during which 227,214 cases were scheduled, the Higher Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) said on Monday.
The council said, in a press release on the 8-month results of the implementation of the remote trial system, that thousands of detainees have benefited from this process during the same period, without having to visit court headquarters.
This project launched in collaboration with the partners of the judicial system made it possible to obtain, during the period from April 27 to December 25, 2020, exceptional results, it said, adding that it promotes the values of openness and communication about the various measures taken to stem the spread of the Coronavirus in the Kingdom.
The CSPJ also underlined its permanent commitment to the system of remote trials to ensure that the courts continue to fulfill their constitutional duties and to work to enshrine the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time.
It praised the sense of responsibility and commitment of all components of the judicial system, while calling on all actors to strictly respect the recommended prevention and precautionary measures, in order to avoid the risks associated with this exceptional situation.
