ENHANCING THE COMMUNITY JUSTICE AND TRIBUNALS SYSTEM
Enhancements to the Community Justice and Tribunals System (CJTS) e-platform were made
in 2022. The objective was to support amendments to the subsidiary legislation of the specialist
courts and tribunals in the Community Courts and Tribunals Cluster, strengthen infrastructure
capabilities and security posture, improve user experience, and enhance access to justice.
As part of the enhancements:
- Terminology changes were made, arising out of amendments to the subsidiary legislation
of the specialist courts and tribunals.
- Court forms previously available in hard copy in the State Courts Practice Directions were
migrated online to CJTS to provide easy access. These forms were made individually
downloadable and editable.
- The CJTS module for claims under the Protection from Harassment Act was enhanced to
cater to matters impacted by the Private Security Industry (Amendment) Act 2021.
- CJTS was successfully migrated from the Government Private Cloud to the Government
Commercial Cloud. This improved the system’s infrastructure capabilities and security
posture, and the overall reliability of CJTS for court users.
