Doha, May 13 (QNA) - HE Head of the Judicial Inspection Authority at the Supreme Judiciary Council (SJC) Judge Ahmed Al Mansoori said that the Judicial Inspection Authority's work program for the 2026-2030 period focuses on enhancing the efficiency of the judicial system and improving the quality of judicial work, in line with the SJC's vision, along with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), His Excellency said that the program includes developing mechanisms for inspection and performance oversight, enhancing the quality of judicial rulings, reinforcing the principles of transparency and institutional governance, improving the efficiency and qualification of judicial personnel, and supporting digital transformation.

The Judicial Inspection Authority has witnessed significant development following the issuance of Law No. 8 of 2023 and the subsequent regulatory decisions, which strengthened the Authority's role in combining continuous monitoring with improving the quality of judicial performance, His Excellency noted.

Keeping pace with technological developments, particularly in the field of electronic systems, is one of the most prominent current challenges, he pointed out.

He stressed that the Authority plays a pivotal role in supporting the judicial work's quality and efficiency through monitoring and analyzing performance indicators, examining challenges, and presenting development proposals, improving institutional efficiency and judicial outcomes.

Regarding litigant confidence, His Excellency said that judicial inspection is one of the fundamental pillars in strengthening society's trust in the justice system by reinforcing integrity, impartiality, and transparency, in addition to receiving and reviewing complaints within an organized legal framework.

The new work program features improving the evaluation indicators of judicial performance by adopting more comprehensive and accurate standards and linking them to institutional governance, while benefiting from statistics and developing a continuous qualification system, Judge Al Mansoori said.

Training and qualifying judges continuously is a key pillar in improving judicial performance, His Excellency said, noting that the Authority identifies training needs through inspections and follow-up activities.

The Judicial Inspection Authority is increasingly moving towards digital transformation, using advanced systems for performance monitoring, data analysis, and report writing, which enhance efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional methods.

In line with the digital justice project, there is a leaning towards expanding the use of electronic systems, modern technologies, and artificial intelligence, contributing to supporting judicial and supervisory work, he added.

In response to a question about speeding up litigation processing time and its relation to the quality of rulings, His Excellency said that achieving prompt justice requires balancing speed with the quality of judgments, something that the Authority seeks to reinforce by developing performance indicators and continuous monitoring.

On institutional coordination, he reiterated the Authority's commitment to strengthening cooperation with various judicial bodies locally and internationally, enabling the exchange of expertise and best practices in inspection, governance, and institutional development.

The future of judicial work in the Qatar is promising, given the strong support for the judicial sector and the move toward building an advanced digital system that keeps pace with legislative and technological developments, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of judicial performance, Judge Al Mansoori said.

Concluding his remarks to QNA, His Excellency said that several initiatives will be launched over the coming period, most notably issuing a judicial governance document, updating performance indicators, strengthening judicial training programs, and projects related to judicial publications and studies that support institutional work.
