The Supreme Court has proposed the establishment of specialised commercial courts nationwide. According to a Supreme Court media statement, the proposal was sent on Monday to the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs to enhance the investment environment by making it more dynamic and transparent, resolving trade disputes quickly and effectively. It added that the proposal calls for appointing commercial court judges from district judges and for forming a commercial appeal bench in the High Court division by the chief justice. Mediation is made mandatory before filing a case, to settle many disputes out of court and significantly reduce the increasing pressure of cases on the courts. It also highlights the development of infrastructure necessary for the establishment and functioning of commercial courts, training for judges and lawyers, and continuous professional development.
