Cabinet approves a number of legal and policy memoranda

President Wavel Ramkalawan chaired a scheduled meeting of the Cabinet on Wednesday July 2, in which a number of legal and policy memoranda were approved.

Cabinet approved the Children (Amendment) Bill, 2025. The Bill introduces key reforms aimed at strengthening the functioning of the Family Tribunal for the enforcement of Family Tribunal orders. It simplifies the enforcement procedures to ensure timely compliance with Family Tribunal Orders, expands the Tribunal’s membership to manage increased caseloads, and promotes mediation in child welfare cases. The amendments also align enforcement provisions with the Domestic Violence Act, 2020, and include funding measures to support the Tribunal’s enhanced operational capacity.
