High Court Can’t Solve All UDP Problems 

At the end of today’s session, Justice Tawanda Hondora pointed out that the court case might not solve all the issues at hand. He urged both sides to consider other ways to address some of the problems, possibly through mediation between Barrow and Panton. Attorney Knox shared his interpretation of Justice Hondora’s suggestions.

“There are a lot of issues. He might say the convention might have been a valid convention. It was not necessarily invalid just because the chairman did not show up. It was not invalid because the SG did not sent the relevant documents. He will still have to verify if the relevant verification process was undertaken, as  matter of fact, we say it was, they say it was not. We will still have to decide whether the delegates that showed up were real delegates or not. I would rather suggest there is some questions marks about that. Those are some of the main issues that would have to be covered. Questions of fact, rather than questions of principle.”
