This Tuesday afternoon, the President had only one sentence for us: “The session is postponed to Thursday, October 31, at 2 PM.” However, she felt it important to share some clarifications regarding the situation in which she is working.

It is not only the criminal aspect that holds major importance for the Court. For the President, the civil aspect is equally significant and requires a doubling, and even a tripling, of efforts and resources to conduct a thorough review of the approximately 1,200 files concerning civil interests.

The postponement of the session was necessary due to a lack of time. Other criminal trials must also take place, and the registry is overwhelmed and severely understaffed due to illness. “The Court and the Registry form a team,” she reminded us. To continue addressing civil interests, the President has called for reinforcements from Nivelles, allowing her to pursue her mission, which she aims to complete by October 31.
