Not well said,I just dont say things for the sake.... One needs to look at the totality of the SC process vis a vis the applicable law. Article 140 does not provide for a time limit for responses to a Petition but only sets out the time limit for filing a petition and determination of the same. Under the Supreme Court Presidential Petition Rules 2013 states in Rule 8 that "Upon service of a petition under Rule 7, a respondent who wishes to oppose the petition may WITHIN three days of service of the petition file a response....'. The Petition was filed on the 16th and served electronically on the same date within 2 hours of filing pursuant to Rule 7 (2) of the aforesaid rules and physically for some of the Respondents on the same date and the rest on the Monday after. Time thus began to run in terms of Rule 8 as read with sub rule 7(2) at 3pm on Saturday 16th March. The responses are thus out of time. The Pre Trial Conference set out in Rule 9 is supplementary to and not in derogation to rules 7 and 8. Indeed if you look at that provison it does not preclude service or states that service will be subject to pre trial preliminaries under Rules 9 and 10...anything else?

True....currently the best amongst his peers.
