Chief Justice: Good morning Counsel. The matter is called this morning for Judgment but as you can
see today we are joined by Chipeta SC, JA in place of Dr. Ansah SC, JA. The Indications are that Dr.
Ansah SC, JA should be coming rather late. We did not want to keep counsel waiting and we sought the
presence of Chipeta SC, JA who neither took part in the hearing of the appeal nor the preparation of the
Judgment, but is here for purposes of completing the coram. The Judgment was prepared by myself,
Justice Dr. Ansah SC, JA and Justice Mzikamanda SC, JA. One option was for me and Justice
Mzikamanda SC, JA to walk in and deliver the Judgment. The Judgment will be delivered on behalf of this
Court by Justice Mzikamanda SC, JA. I raise these issues because they have caused concern in some
quarters. In so far as we are concerned, there is no difficulty with either option. I want to confirm with
counsel on both sides if it is alright with you for us to proceed as proposed.
