ST: Coronavirus: Singapore courts to resume hearings for most cases on June 8

SINGAPORE – The courts are set to resume hearings for most cases from June 8 – a week after Singapore exits the circuit breaker period – with remote hearings set to continue.

The Supreme Court will also not enter its usual recess in June, in order to deal with the backlog of matters that have accumulated during the circuit breaker, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon announced in a message to practitioners and court users on Friday (May 29).

“Likewise, the State Courts and the Family Justice Courts (FJC) will continue to hear matters in June,” he said.
