Structure
The Registry of the Caribbean Court of Justice is headed by a Registrar, assisted by a Deputy Registrar and four members of staff. The staff of the Registry are appointed by the Regional Judicial and Legal Services Commission. Sub-Registries of the Court are located in the Courts of the Contracting Parties to the Agreement.
Functions
The Registry is the ‘engine room’ of the Court. It manages all cases from filing to disposition. It is responsible for the receipt, transmission and custody of documents filed in the Registry and sub-Registries. It is the conduit for the flow of information between the Court and the parties before it. The Registry is also responsible for service of all documents filed in the original jurisdiction. To provide greater access to justice documents may be filed in the sub-Registries and transmitted to the Registry.
Sub-Registries
Each sub-Registry of the Court is headed by a Registrar who is called a ‘proper officer’ under the Appellate Jurisdiction Rules or a ‘local deputy Registrar’ under the Original Jurisdiction Rules. The sub-Registries are located in the Courts of each of the Contracting Parties which signed the Agreement Establishing the Court.
