Activities are to resume at the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court (Civil Division) at 2 p.m following a security threat this morning. 

The police were called in after a threatening phone call was made to the court office about 10:20 a.m. 

The courthouse was immediately evacuated but after two hours court staff, including judges, were allowed to re-enter. 

Some persons who had cases set for hearing today had earlier left the precincts. 

Several court users complained they were greatly inconvenienced.
