A few hours after the announcement of the return of work in the Egyptian courts next Saturday, the authorities withdrew and announced the return of work in the courts after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Councilor Abdullah Asr, head of the Supreme Judicial Council and head of the Court of Cassation, decided to amend the date for the return of work in the Court of Cassation, the higher courts of appeal and the primary and specialized courts, until after the festive blessed Eid al-Fitr.

And Egypt announced earlier, on Tuesday, the return of work in all courts, starting next Saturday after a two-month hiatus due to the crown.

Previously, Chancellor Mohamed Reda, Vice President of the Court of Cassation and Media Advisor to the Supreme Judicial Council, stated that the Council headed by Chancellor Abdullah Asr, President of the Court of Cassation, decided during the meeting today, Tuesday, to return work to the Court of Cassation, the ordinary courts of appeal and the primary and specialized courts from May 16. This was later modified.

He added in a statement that the President of the Court of Cassation stressed that he should continue to take all preventive and precautionary measures and take into account the controls mentioned in the Prime Minister’s decisions to avoid the Crown.

Egypt’s Justice Ministry decided in mid-March to postpone all cases before courts of all kinds within two weeks, in accordance with the state’s plan to deal with the Corona virus, and then decided to continue the tide due to rising infections in Corona.

The Ministry stated that the administrative work in the courts continues to fulfill the requests during the legally established dates without holding sessions.

He added that coordination between the Minister of Justice, the Counselor Omar Marwan, the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, the President of the Council of State, the Attorney General and the heads of the courts of appeal and the courts of first instance were taken to take the legal measures necessary to postpone cases, and not cancel any case.

The State Council also decided to postpone its sessions, while the Administrative Prosecutor’s Office decided to work with half the force during that period to counter the Corona virus.
