Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng on Saturday issued new directives for the management of courts during the national state of disaster, which will see more court proceedings being undertaken during this period.
The new directives state that criminal trials already set down for hearing during the national state of disaster shall be dealt with and disposed of in a manner determined by the head of court.
Another change comes in terms of judicial flow management, which entails the assignment and allocation of cases to a judicial officer at the earliest opportunity. The repealed directives stated that there shall be no judicial case flow management conferences held before a judicial officer in chambers or civil roll call hearings convened during the lockdown period.
