Judges from Pattaya Provincial Court educated about
200 area residents on laws and the legal system at a symposium at city
hall.
Judges Suchart Thaninson, Pinyo Mokkhamakul and
Suphachai Praphainop lectured Sept. 21 on legal knowledge, government
processes, rights and courthouse etiquette. They also offered tips on
conducting errands at the courthouse quickly.
Suchart briefed the audience on various projects by
Pattaya Provincial Court, including its efforts to rush case evaluation.
The court handles an average of more than 80 cases a day and 22,000 a
year, he said.
The courthouse operates six days a week. In addition,
a Consumer Litigation Center opened Sept. 13 to clear cases on
agreements and reconciliation. This followed the opening of a Violence
Termination Center and Dispute Mediation and Conciliation Center.
