Reforming judicial system is instrumental for development: Dr. al-Hamdani [Archives:2002/30/Local News]

The ministry of justice has recently taken a couple of decisions to develop commercial courts to protect capitals and investors and facilitate the judicial proceedings.
Informed sources said that judge Ahmad Abdulah Aqbat, minister of justice gave instructions following his meeting with directors of banks and businessmen to change the arbitration panel at the commercial courts. The new system provides that only one judge is to proceed over a commercial court instead of three. This is to expedite the settlement of cases filed at law courts as well as for rehabilitating bank checks and credit bills.
Dr. Ahmed al-Hamadani, Watani Banks chairman, commended the steps taken by the ministry of justice in this respect. He told the Yemen Times that this initiative is a practical move to implement the presidents orders to develop Yemens judicial system.
Dr. al-Hamadani added that reforming Yemens judicial system will lead to more economic development and the flow of investments. Paying attention to this issue is the entry point for achieving a comprehensive development and stability in the country, he commented.
