Kano House of Assembly has passed the Kano State Multi-door Court Bill 2021.
The bill, which was passed on Wednesday, provides for alternative means of dispute resolution in the state.
Majority Leader of the House, Labaran Abdul-Madari, disclosed this while addressing newsmen shortly after the plenary presided over by the Speaker Hamisu Ibrahim-Chidari in Kano.
“The passage of the bill was sequel to deliberations by the lawmakers in the committee of the whole whose.”
Abdul-Madari explained that the law would go a long way in promoting alternative dispute resolution and decongesting correctional centres.
He stated that multi-door courts would be established across the metropolis and local government areas to oversee civil cases.
Madari maintained that criminal cases are excluded from the multi-door courts.
