Gauteng High Court Judge David Unterhalter was back before the JSC on Tuesday night as the last of ten candidates interviewed for four positions in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
CAPE TOWN - Gauteng High Court Judge David Unterhalter says he believes he was ambushed and treated unfairly by the Judicial Service Commission in an interview a year ago.
But it was a matter that was raised during his previous appearance that dominated questioning in his two-hour-long interview. Now applying for the Supreme Court of Appeal where he’s had nine acting stints, Unterhalter was again dogged by a conflict of interest argument first raised in an interview a year ago.
