Case not closed: Western Cape High Court backlog shows no sign of improvement | GroundUp_News
It is the responsibility of the Judge President of a high court to make sure the court's judges are delivering their reserved judgments on time. It is the responsibility of the Chief Justice to make sure the Judges President are doing this.
Tilley says there are many reasons judges give for delays, such as"the complexity of the matter, how long the matter was heard for, and sometimes just issues like illness". Spokesperson for the Chief Justice, Nathi Mncube, subsequently informed us that the national list of reserved judgments provided by the Office of the Chief Justice was outdated.
According to the judicial norms, the Chief Justice is responsible for monitoring the performance of judges. GroundUp emailed Mncube for comment regarding the Western Cape High Court list days before publication. He did not respond. We also tried to call Mncube numerous times. He did not answer his cellphone.
