Latest statistics show KwaZulu-Natal justices had 19 delayed judgments for more than six months. Some date back to 2012.
udge Esther Steyn produced these statistics during her interview for judge president of the division before the Judicial Service Commission on Friday.“This has a direct impact on the confidence the public has in the judiciary. It's not an insurmountable challenge. It requires strong leadership and the norms and standards set down by the Office of the Chief Justice need to be enforced,” she said.
Steyn, a former prosecutor, magistrate and University of Cape Town lecturer, was appointed a judge in 2009. Regarding her lack of leadership experience, Steyn said she had regularly acted as the senior civil judge which was, in effect, stepping into the shoes of the judge president and the deputy judge president.
