Jamie Lee Warn is accused of killing 37-year-old Hungarian national Zsuszanna Besenyei and perverting the course of justice by allegedly trying to hide her body at Le Pulec bay on the west coast of the Island near L’Etacq. The area is locally known as Stinky Bay.
The trial, which was expected to last at least two weeks, was due to begin on Monday, but has been delayed as a precaution. No date has been set for a resumption.
The future of other jury trials are being considered on a ‘case-by-case’ basis.
Bailiff Timothy Le Cocq said fewer Jurats may be used in certain hearings and that dealing with some cases electronically was also being considered.
‘There are some cases that are absolutely essential, primarily children’s cases, and those we will continue to deal with – without interruption, we hope,’ Mr Le Cocq added.
Other measures at the courts include staff being divided into two groups, with minimal crossover, to ensure that business can continue in the event of employees becoming unwell.
Stringent cleaning measures are to be implemented across all publicly accessible court areas.
Further information is due to be announced in relation to the Magistrate’s Court.
