To this end, the lawyers have indicated their inability to comply with what they describe as unconstitutional directive to conduct part-heard cases during the legal vacation. According to him, the warrant for Justice Achibonga to commence the hearing during the legal vacation without the consent of the parties in the matter, is irregular and contrary to law. “Respectfully, the directive for Justice Achibonga to sit in the legal vacation is unprecedented and may hint at discriminatory treatment,” the letter said. “With respect, this directive to continue with the part-heard trial risks exposing Your Lordship to claims of selective justice. Numerous other cases of repute, both criminal and civil, have been placed at a standstill by the legal vacation and adjourned to October and November 2026, to afford both judges and lawyers rest during the vacation,” the letter said.
