A team of experts is expected to arrive in Cyprus next week to present suggestions on the review of the courts’ civil procedure rules, the Supreme Court said on Saturday.
The team – led by Lord John Dyson – will be on the island on Tuesday and Wednesday to present to a special committee appointed by the Supreme Court the first part of preliminary suggestions for the review of the civil procedure rules of courts, an announcement said.
The team visited Cyprus in January for contacts and to get an idea as to what had to be done.
The special committee will have a month to submit its comments on the team’s suggestions. Two more rounds of consultations will follow where the team will submit more preliminary suggestions.
The project , which is part of the plan to reform the courts , is expected to be completed within 12 months, the Supreme Court said.

May 5, 2018 at 15:59I’m am sure as soon as the report is delivered we will do the usual Cyprus thing and throw it in the bin, say we know better and that things did not need to change in the place. Let’s not forget we know everything and cannot be told anything.

May 5, 2018 at 21:24Throw it in the bin? Surely “the usual Cyprus thing” is to dump it on some waste land.

May 5, 2018 at 14:29As former Master of the Rolls Lord Dyson certainly knows how things could and should be done. I would well imagine that in his preparation work he has found our systems here beyond belief. I would suggest that what he goes on to propose will really rock the boat. Let us all hope that his message is heeded to and the required changes are made, and quickly.

May 5, 2018 at 16:00Unfortunately, as Lord Dyson is not a Greek Cypriot, his proposals are destined to be ignored.

May 5, 2018 at 14:07He wants to make a clean sweep of everything.

May 5, 2018 at 15:25Sucker! (At least, that’s how I think the vacuum cleaner works.)
