After a nearly 6 month delay because of a broken pipe, the Saint John Law Courts building is preparing to hear its first case. Dave Maclean of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General tells CHSJ News the move is well underway and will continue through the weekend if needed to finish it.
He says those last little bits of pieces of furniture and files are being moved over from courtrooms and offices at City Hall and on Sidney Street and Charlotte Street and they will be ready to roll with court cases as of Monday.
The building features a scanner that was used during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and a stained glass window depicting all of the previous court buildings and the new facility.
The new courtrooms featuring high-tech sound and a multi-camera video monitoring system for remand cases start hearing cases on Monday.
