Acting for clients in Mahébourg
Mahébourg instructions often concern family arrangements, maintenance, succession, employment and sensitive allegations. An early assessment separates the immediate concern from the lasting decision.
Employment matters can turn on records. Keep payslips, rosters, messages and the dates on which terms changed or a dismissal was communicated.
The court that sits at Mahébourg
The district of Grand Port is served by the District Court of Grand-Port, which sits at Mahébourg. A District Court tries most criminal offences, but its sentencing power is limited to imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of up to Rs 100,000; more serious charges are dealt with higher in the court structure. If you have been charged, that distinction matters immediately, and it is one of the first things we explain. Source: the Supreme Court of Mauritius on the District Court.
