Judgments & legislationWhatsApp

Why it matters

The Supreme Court Bar Association has communicated a revised sequencing system for the Supreme Court cause list, dividing it into two distinct parts. Under the new arrangement, Part A contains fresh and early-hearing matters while Part B lists after-notice matters, discontinuing the practice of sequencing matters at 10:30 a.m.

Key points

  • The Supreme Court cause list will be published in two parts instead of its earlier format.
  • Fresh and early-hearing matters will be placed in Part A, whereas after-notice matters will be placed in Part B.
  • The practice of assigning a sequence to matters at 10:30 a.m. has been discontinued.
  • The change in cause list arrangement was notified by the Supreme Court Bar Association.

What changed

The Supreme Court cause list will now be pre-divided into Part A for fresh and early-hearing matters and Part B for after-notice matters, terminating the daily 10:30 a.m. sequencing practice.
