| 1. |
A roll call will be held at 09h30 on each day during
the court term of all trials enrolled for hearing on that day. If necessary
further roll calls will be held at 11h30 and 14h00. |
| 2. |
Unless advised prior to the commencement of roll call
that a trial has been allocated to a specific judge, the parties’ legal
representatives must attend roll call and continue so attending until
the trial has been allocated or otherwise disposed of. |
| 3. |
If a trial cannot be allocated for hearing on the day
for which it is enrolled for hearing, the parties’ legal representatives
must attend roll call on the next and subsequent days until the trial
is allocated for hearing. |
| 4. |
Unless the parties’ legal representatives state
the contrary, it will be assumed that -
|
| |
4.1 |
the parties’ legal representatives are not aware
of any reason why the trial, if allocated, cannot commence and run continuously
to its conclusion; |
| |
4.2 |
the pleadings have been properly paginated and indexed; |
| |
4.3 |
a bundle of documents (where necessary) properly paginated and
indexed has been prepared; |
| |
4.4 |
where separate bundles of documents have been prepared by the parties,
there
is no duplication of documents in the various bundles; |
| |
4.5 |
all issues relating to the pre-trial conference have been completed. |
| |
then the matter will be ripe for allocation, provided a
judge is available. |
| 5. |
If any of the assumptions referred to in paragraph
4 above are proved to be incorrect, the trial will not be allocated.
If the trial has already been allocated and any of the aforementioned
assumptions are proved to be incorrect, the trial will not be commenced
but will be referred back to the judge who conducted the roll call. |
| 6. |
Unless indicated to the contrary on the daily roll,
roll call at 09h30 will be held in court GC. Counsel will be advised
by the presiding judge where the subsequent roll calls, if necessary,
will be held. |
