On January 29, Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court of First Instance held a meeting to review 2025 work and plan for 2026. It called for continued development of the justice system, better trial efficiency and case quality, and strict lawful action against priority offences such as telecom scams to protect social fairness, justice and public order.
The meeting said the new year would bring strict implementation of the Justice Ministry's priority action plans, stronger examination and handling of major cases, and a focus on drug crime, traffic offences, delinquent-youth issues and household registration. Telecom scams using information technology were a particular priority, with strict and rapid trials according to law to provide a strong judicial deterrent.
The court would also accelerate criminal and civil cases, improve case management and trial procedures, and appropriately use mediation and other dispute-resolution mechanisms where permitted by law. Land disputes outside the court's jurisdiction would be referred to relevant bodies for lawful and efficient resolution, supporting public security and people's rights.
