\u00a0During an event marking the signing of the best deal for Court Services Agency employees, at the Court building in Valletta, the Prime Minister described this agreement as another important step forward in the field of justice.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

He said that this agreement is sending a clear message that the workers who support the administration of justice, prepare the daily work, assist the judiciary, guide citizens, maintain order and keep records, should be respected, supported and appreciated.<\/span><\/span> He maintained that this step has come at a time when our country is continuing to modernise justice services.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are increasing investment, continuing to strengthen human resources, improving infrastructure and accelerating digital transformation, so that justice is more efficient, more transparent and more accessible to all,\u201d stressed Prime Minister Robert Abela.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to the 2026 Budget, the Prime Minister reiterated that the Government is committed to continuing to provide the necessary tools to continue strengthening the justice sector.<\/span><\/span> At the same time, important legislative reforms are being carried out, more specialization in courts such as the Commercial and Family Courts and new sections such as the Magistrates\u2019 Section specialized in Magisterial Inquiries.<\/span><\/span> This is in addition to the continuous strengthening of the judiciary and the services that surround it.<\/span><\/span> The Government is also investing in the spaces in which justice is administered, with more chambers, improved security and new buildings for the Courts such as Palazzo Conte.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, planning for modern and accessible infrastructure is continuing, including in Gozo, and we are embracing technology through new equipment in the courts, better connectivity and digital systems that simplify the way cases are processed.<\/span><\/span> All of this, the Prime Minister stressed, is leading to more timely decisions being taken, service is being further strengthened and public trust continues to grow.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prime Minister Robert Abela also said that this agreement is important to strengthen stability and professionalism.<\/span><\/span> At the same time, it is also helping to maintain experience, attract new skills and recognise the ever-growing responsibilities that a modern justice system brings with it.<\/span><\/span> \u201cFor the Government, workers really come first. For us, they and their families are the foundation of what our country is,\u201d said Dr Abela, as he made reference to the Government\u2019s ongoing commitment to continue improving the conditions of workers, as well as with reference to the tax cut for all workers which has entered its second year and another tax cut for working parents.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for Justice and Construction Sector Reform Jonathan Attard said that with this agreement they are not only strengthening working conditions, but are also creating new positions, progression structures and career opportunities.<\/span><\/span> \u201cWe are sending a clear message: that in this Agency you can grow, learn and move forward. Our intention is clear: to continue investing in human resources, infrastructure and legal reforms, as part of a plan for a more specialised justice system,\u201d reiterated Minister Jonathan Attard.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Vanessa Grech, Chief Executive Officer of the Court Services Agency said, \u201cToday we are celebrating an important milestone for the Court Services Agency. This agreement is a testament to our commitment to offer strong conditions and attract more workers within the agency. Committed to continuing to strengthen the Agency, carry out new infrastructure projects and build a more modern, efficient and people-friendly justice system.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

GWU Deputy General Secretary Kevin Camilleri said that this Collective Agreement is the result of collaboration between the Court Administration and the General Workers\u2019 Union.<\/span><\/span> Through constructive dialogue and mutual respect, a balance has been reached that strengthens both the stability of the judicial system and the well-being of workers, and establishes a solid foundation for a more efficient and sustainable service in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
