Union Chief Justice U Htun Htun Oo said judiciary work is the main job of the courts and the works of courts at states, regions, districts and townships are to be managed so that cases are heard and decided in a timely manner, fairly, without bias and corruption. The judicial pillar is to be straight and firm. More emphasis is to be placed toward the people having access to news and information about courts and efforts must be made toward maintaining the good name of the courts and raise the trust and reliance of the people on courts.

On cases that are being filed and decided from 1 January to 31 December 2018, Union Chief Justice said the Union Supreme Court accepted 2,001 criminal, 2,750 civil and 317 writs cases of which 2,010 criminal (including 9 cases from past year), 2,860 civil (including 110 cases from past year) and 333 writs cases (including 16 cases from past year) were decided.
