Wet paint disrupts court

An attempt to spruce up the Magistrates’ Court created a problem when people using the courtroom had to end up waiting outside the Supreme Court Complex this week.
Instead of having a seat in the courts, temporarily moved to the complex, scores of people who turned up for business were asked to wait on the steps in the open.
Apparently the unusually brightly painted purple benches were not dry and had to be returned to the outside to complete the process. As a result, there was nowhere to sit.
