THE Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has introduced an email inquiry facility to expedite electronic management of cases at the High Court in Harare.
by STAFF REPORTER
The development is an expansion of the electronic case-tracking system that the court introduced in 2011.
“The new service was operationalised beginning August 2015 and allows all law firms who are the legal practitioners of record for any of the parties to the suit and self-actors to register their email addresses with the Registrar of the High Court to access the facility,” JSC said in a statement.
However, the facility is only open to legal parties in a matter who want to see the progress of their cases.

“To comply with the rules of court, the facility is not available to researchers, the media or members of the public who are not parties to the suit until a case has been completed and judgment has been handed down,” JSC added.
The facility can be used to get updates on all cases, pending and completed, that were filed with the High Court’s Harare Registry from January 1, 2011 to date.
It is also available to a limited extent, but only for inquiries regarding active cases that were filed between 2000 and 2010.
All lawyers and self-actors who have registered their email addresses with the Registrar of the High Court can utilise the facility by sending an inquiry to infokiosk@highcourt-zim.co.zw and get immediate feedback.
