In a statement yesterday, the court stated that with 2019 being an election year, it became obvious that “we have to forfeit our annual vacation to enable us to entertain and determine all appeals arising from the various election petitions tribunals.” ...

President of the Court of Appeal , Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa, has canceled the yearly vacation of judges. She said the decision followed the consideration of the enormous petitions the court faces.

In a two-page circular signed and transmitted to all judges on July 2, 2019, Justice Bulkachuwa noted that since these appeals were time-bound and would arise within the period of the court’s July to October vacation period, there was a need for the cases to be heard and determined within the period.

The PCA added that the schedules should be arranged in a manner that at any given time, there should be a three-member panel on the ground in every division to hear and determine appeals. In divisions with three judges, only one could travel at a time and the office of the PCA must be immediately notified to form a panel in that justice’s absence.
