Impounded or parked?
Within the compound of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court are vehicles that have been parked or impounded for the last five years.
“I think those vehicles have become part of the court buildings,” explained a businesswoman who passes the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court every day to and from work. “They have been there for so long, I actually can’t imagine the courts without them.”
Other commuters who pass the courts on a daily basis explain that the vehicles are an eyesore. One man voiced his opinion that if so much was being done to spruce-up Georgetown for Carifesta X, something should be done about the rusting and decaying vehicles lying in the courts’ compound.
A source within the Magistrates’ Court, who requested not to be named, said that the vehicles were impounded in relation to cases that were once filed in the Magistrates’ Court.
The source said that many of the matters have since been filed within the High Court.
The vehicles represent evidence from a number of different cases, some of which were filed since 2000.
There are no plans to have the vehicles relocated, given the clean-up for Carifesta.
A similar situation once existed in the compound of the High Court, but in one sweep the High Court ordered that the vehicles be removed. They were.
