Any determination of the number of judges of the Supreme Court of Appeal, as envisaged in section 5(1 )(a)(iii) of the Act, must be considered with due regard to—
| (a) |
the number of appeals, petitions and reviews dealt with by that Court; |
| (b) |
any discernible change in the workload of the Court in the three years preceding such determination; |
| (c) |
the need for the Court to hold a sitting for the hearing of any matter at a place elsewhere than at the seat of the Court; |
| (d) |
the resource implications that would arise from any increase in the number of judges of the Court; and |
| (e) |
any other factor that, in the opinion of the President of the Court, might be relevant to consider in order to ensure the accessibility and effectiveness of the Court. |
