Ms Angela Denning:

That is a matter for the Judiciary. If your judgment is not of a quality, you will be overturned. The reality as of today is that there are approximately 20 outstanding judgments for the whole list. When you consider the throughput of work they have, I think that is fairly good. The judicial planning working group dealt with this in its report. The ideal is that when a judge finishes hearing a case, they would get out of court to write the judgment straight away while all of the facts are fresh in their minds, and that they would get the time to do that. It is not possible to do that all of the time at the moment because of the demand on the list. We would love to get to that. You could schedule cases. The president would have enough resources available to him. The president of the High Court allocates judges to the different lists. He would have enough resources available to let a judge out of court when they finish a complex case to write the judgment straight away while everything is fresh in their mind.
