A judge who ruled against dozens of law firms in their bid to force the Road Accident Fund to keep using their services has scotched claims that he was biased against them.
Soon after, he received a letter from one firm accusing him of attending the earlier meeting with the fund and “offering your views which were adverse and prejudicial to the panel attorneys”.
Mlambo responded to all that there had been several meetings between judges, the fund and other interested parties to discuss the strain that fund litigation was putting on the administration of justice. The meeting in question, in April 2019, had been minuted. The issue of the panel attorneys had not been discussed in the presence of the judges, Mlambo said.
