Joint Court of Justice on Summer Recess

The Joint Court of Justice announced a summer recess, implementing a hearing-free period across all its branches from July 6 to August 14, 2026. During this time, the number of hearings will be reduced, with a general suspension of proceedings. Exceptions to this recess include summary proceedings, other urgent matters, and certain hearings that were already scheduled. While judicial hearings will be significantly curtailed, court counters at all branches will maintain regular office hours. This recess affects judicial operations in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius, impacting the scheduling of non-urgent legal cases across these jurisdictions.
