High Court steps up security screening to cover all floors starting Sat

Security measures at the High Court will be enhanced starting Saturday by extending security screening to cover all floors of the building, the judiciary announced on Wednesday. 

With effect from April 27, all court users going to various floors of court building, including the floors on LG3/F to G/F, will be required to undergo security screening at the screening areas on either LG4/F or G/F. 

All court users should follow the directional signs and directives of the judiciary staff or security personnel when entering the High Court. 

“Security screening, including body screening by metal detectors and bag inspection by X-ray baggage scanners, aims to prevent prohibited items such as knives, scissors, liquids, etc, from being brought into the court premises,” the judiciary said. 

Court users are urged arrive at the High Court earlier since the screening procedures take time, in particular during peak hours in the morning or after lunch break.
