A two-day seminar on the New Civil Procedure Rules 2016 opened yesterday and outgoing acting Chancellor Carl Singh said that one of his last remaining duties was to ensure that the rules become operational.
“You have my commitment that I will be here to see it through,” he assured the large gathering of attorneys, magistrates and judges who were gathered at the Regency Suites Hotel during the opening ceremony yesterday.
Justice Singh told the gathering that the efforts to create new rules for the court “go back a very long time”. He said previous attempts were marred by criticisms that the judiciary was wasting money and that “it was useless.”
