More than a thousand lawyers withdraw from all their cases in the High Court

Recent reports indicate that the High Court registry has received letters from over a thousand lawyers, informing the court that those lawyers have written to their clients expressing their inability to attend courts on behalf of their clients given the surcharged atmosphere and the threat to the safety of lawyers and judges in the High Court. These lawyers have sought the Registry to intimate the parties to proceedings of the listing of matters and hearing of the matters thereafter.
