Amendments to Civil Procedure Code to introduce Judicial Mediation and Pre-trial Procedure

The government has observed the economic difficulties people face due to law's delays and pending legal cases.

Judicial mediation through the creation of a post of master in courts will endeavour to bring about an amicable settlement on issues concerned between relevant parties.

The proposal by Justice Minister Rauff Hakeem in this regard was referred to the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Legislation for its recommendations.
