January 09, Colombo (LNW): The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka will temporarily move its operations to the newly constructed MCC Building on Adhikarana Mawatha in Colombo 12, beginning January 15, 2025, as refurbishment works commence at the Superior Courts Complex.
This move is necessary to ensure the continued functioning of the court while the complex undergoes essential upgrades.
Simultaneously, the Court of Appeal will resume its hearings at the newly designated Court of Appeal premises, located in the former Ministry of Justice Building.
The Court of Appeal is expected to operate from this temporary location starting on January 15 as well.
In a statement issued today, the Marshals Office of the Supreme Court expressed its sincere apologies for any inconvenience that may arise during this period. The office highlighted that there may be some disruptions, particularly with regard to the availability of parking and other limited facilities at the temporary locations.
The court has urged the public, litigants, attorneys-at-law, and President’s Counsel to bear with the temporary arrangements, assuring that efforts will be made to minimise any difficulties during the transition.
