In a significant move to enhance Kuwait’s judicial infrastructure, Minister of Justice Counselor Nasser Al-Sumait has announced the relocation of all court circuits to the newly established Palace of Justice. The transition, set to begin on Sunday, March 9, includes the Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, and Court of Cassation, as well as Family Court circuits covering Capital, General, and Appeal courts.

As part of the modernization efforts, a responsible source revealed that the Ministry of Justice is currently exploring the introduction of remote court sessions. This initiative aims to improve judicial efficiency, accessibility, and digital transformation.

To further enhance the efficiency of Kuwait’s legal system, the Ministry is also working on implementing a paperless justice system. This includes:

• Upgrading technical infrastructure to support digital documentation and case management.
• Finalizing executive regulations for streamlined court proceedings.
• Reducing reliance on physical paperwork, thereby expediting judicial processes.

The relocation of court circuits and the adoption of digital solutions mark a significant step toward a modernized judicial system in Kuwait.
