Slow Justice in Cyprus: Need for Reforms
September 3, 2025
Michalis Vorkas, president of the Cyprus Bar Association, highlighted that the judicial process in Cyprus is extremely slow, taking 17 years for a court decision. During a meeting of the parliamentary committee, he pointed out that the European Commission's report on the Rule of Law contains misleading information. His remarks sparked a discussion on improving judicial procedures. MP Andreas Pasiourtidis also agreed, stressing the lack of public trust in the justice system. Changes are needed to make judicial processes faster and more effective.
