SC saves trees: No more hardcopy printed judgments or causelists for anybody from 1 Feb

The Supreme Court will not be printing out additional hard copies of judgments anymore from 1 February to circulate internally and elsewhere, according to a notice dated today, as well as doing away with paper causelists.

Normally 80 copies of all judgments were made automatically for the records of the editorial branch of the court, which would be reduced to less than 20.

Judges and others should download copies of judgments from the Supreme Court’s website, rather than request hardcopies for “contingent / miscellaneous requirements”, said the notice (see below).

Furthermore, according to a second notice dated 13 January, all cause lists would be disseminated by email instead of paper from 1 February.

Sir,

The decision of discontinuing the practice of making numerous hardcopies of Judgments as well as the Causelists is a most welcome move.

6 copies of the matter instead of the usual 5 copies needs to be prepared now; double spaced with 14pt fonts on single side of a legal size paper is used; the useless Application for exemption from filing Official Translation filed with most SLPs and photocopy of Annexures in clear legible english cannot be filed and yet the SC wants us to believe its trying to save trees! Brilliant!
