The National Assembly will soon debate and possibly approve the Time Limit for Judicial Decisions Bill, which is aimed at ensuring that a case be tried as expeditiously as possible in an endeavour to conclude the case within such time as the complexity and relevant evidence necessitate.
Under the proposed piece of legislation, a Judge may be removed from office “for persistently not writing decisions or for continuously failing to give decisions and reasons therefor within such time as may be specified by Parliament.”
The Bill seeks to give effect to the Constitutional requirement to specify a time limit for a Judge to give his decision and reasons for the decisions.
The proposed legislation also provides that a Judge shall give the decision of a civil case at the conclusion of the hearing of the case or as soon as possible after the conclusion of the hearing but not later than 120 days from the date of the conclusion of the hearing.
At present there is a whopping 94 cases, which are billed for hearing during the upcoming criminal session at the Supreme Court commencing on April 7.
