    "content": " The proposed amendment seeks to delete, so as to increase the duration for vacation of the Judges of the Court of Appeal. The provision that was there was archaic. It still provides for summer vacation, autumn vacation and all that. So, we seek to reduce this to normal statutory leave for judges because the present status is that if this goes on, it will increase the backlog of cases leading to additional costs to litigants and other stakeholders in the law and justice sector. We agree with the submissions of the LSK that the Court of Appeal should be set in a flexible judicial calendar rather than a statute. Thank you."
