CASAC has launched an application in the Johannesburg High Court challenging the constitutionality of the recent Judicial Service Commission (JSC) interviews for candidates to fill vacancies at the Constitutional Court.

In its court papers CASAC alleges and will argue that the manner of questioning of some of the candidates went beyond the bounds of what is permissible to determine the fitness and propriety of the candidates. Some of the questioning was irrelevant and aimed at ambushing the candidates, resulting in them suffering severe prejudice.
