Tsuen Wan Magistrates' Courts had been relocated to West Kowloon Law Courts Building in Sham Shui Po and renamed as West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts, which came into operation from December 28.


The new Magistrates' Courts, located  at 501 Tung Chau Street, Sham Shui Po, consist of 16 courtrooms to deal with criminal cases that take place in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing, Lantau, Airport, Sham Shui Po and Mong Kok districts. Three of the courtrooms are equipped with trial facilities of closed-circuit television system, and two others are designated for handling juvenile cases.


All police officers working in the new Magistrates' Courts come under the command of Chief Inspector (Court) of New Territories South Regional Headquarters. Cheung Sha Wan Division will handle public events outside the Magistrates' Courts while an outsourced security agency is responsible for general security within the courts.


The Coroner's Court, originally located at the Eastern Law Courts Building, had been moved to the new West Kowloon Law Courts Building on January 16 for handling all death inquests in the territory.
