Chief Justice Luke Malaba will today preside over the official opening of the 2024 Legal Year to allow litigation processes in superior courts across the country.
The ceremony will take place at the Constitutional Court in Harare and other similar ceremonies will be held in Bulawayo, Chinhoyi, Mutare and Masvingo.
Judicial Service Commission (JSC) secretary, Walter Chikwanha, stated that the event marked the beginning of the legal calendar and reminded litigants that they could now approach the superior courts for the first term.
