The Government appointed Mrs. Justice Susan Denham to chair a high-level Working Group to consider the complex issue of the establishment of an intermediate appellate court. Its work commenced in March last year (2007). The Group completed an interim report in March 2008. The Group is now proceeding, under its terms of reference, to prepare a final report, incorporating the interim report, on the Constitutional, legal and practice and procedure changes which would be required for such a major development in our courts system. When the final report is available, the Government will consider the matter further.
