| 1. |
Courts 2 and 3 commence sitting at 09h30 on the Tuesday
of each week during the court term for the hearing of the matters referred
to in paragraph 2 below |
| 2. |
Counsel who are briefed in matters enrolled to be
heard in courts 1, 4, 5 and 6 on the Tuesday at 10h00 may call their
motion matters in court 2 and court 3 from 09h30 on the Tuesday. To this
end, prior to the commencement of court 2 and court 3 at 09h30, those
counsel are to hand to the clerks of the judges presiding in the relevant
court a list reflecting - |
| |
2.1 |
counsel’s name; |
| |
2.2 |
the name and number of the matters counsel wishes to
have called in that court; |
| |
2.3 |
the number of the other court or courts in which counsel
is to appear on the Tuesday at 10h00 as well as the name and roll number
of the matters in the
other courts. |
| |
As soon as practicable after their use, the clerks of the
judges presiding in courts 2 and court 3, must hand the list to the clerk
of the senior motion court judge. |
| 3. |
From 10h00, and after the matters referred to in paragraph
2 have been completed, the calling of the roll in court 2 and court 3
will commence. |
| 4. |
Prior to the calling of the roll as set out in
paragraph 3 above, the secretary of the presiding judge will invite counsel
to call matters
which are to be removed from the roll or postponed, including applications
in which rule nisi’s have been granted and in which the return
date is to be extended, to be called. |
| 5. |
Thereafter the roll will be called in each court. In
court 2 matters will be called consecutively according to their number
on the roll. In court 3 the roll will be called page by page and counsel
may call the matters in which they appear, which are reflected on the
relevant page. |
| 6. |
It is emphasised that court 2 has precedence over court
3. Counsel must ensure that all their matters in court 2 have been called
before attending court 3. |
| 7. |
Accordingly, if a matter is called in court 2 and there
is no appearance, the presiding judge may there and then strike the matter
from the roll. |
| 8. |
Once court 2 has completed its roll, the clerk of the
presiding judge of court 2 will inform the clerk of the presiding judge
in court 3 thereof. Thereafter the matters in court 3 will be called
consecutively according to their number on the roll. If a matter is called
in court 3 after court 2 has completed its roll and there is no appearance,
the presiding judge may there and then strike the matter from the roll. |
| 9. |
If a matter has to stand down after it has been called,
it must stand down until the roll has been called once, unless the presiding
judge indicates otherwise. |
