If I have been hearing a case, and you transfer me from ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: conclusion of the hearing or closure of submissions by the parties represented in the case; the court must issue its judgement within 42 days. We know of cases where Judges held onto judgements for a whole year.

Such delays may end up encouraging corruption. If a judge delays delivering judgement, the litigant may look for a person who knows the judge or the magistrate with a view to influencing the ... view
