NI: Northern Ireland courts remain open despite complete shutdown south of the border
Reading time: 1 minute
The Northern Ireland courts remain open today in spite of a complete shutdown south of the border, the Lord Chief Justice’s office has confirmed.
A spokesperson told Irish Legal News the courts were still running, although “business may be delayed in some areas”.
The Law Society of Northern Ireland and The Bar of Northern Ireland remain open with no current plans to close, unlike their southern counterparts which will remain shut until Monday.
Meanwhile, the Courts Service of Ireland confirmed that all court sittings south of the border have been cancelled following the extension of a Status Red weather alert across the country.
Most of the biggest Dublin-based law firms have therefore closed their doors for the day, while many in Belfast remain open.
