The notice stated that the recess is being observed in recognition of the Sierra Leone Bar Association Annual General Meeting 2026, a key event that brings together legal practitioners and stakeholders to deliberate on issues affecting the legal profession and the administration of justice in the country.
Members of the public with court-related matters have been advised to take note of the recess dates, while those requiring registry or other administrative services may continue to access them as usual.
