The transfers announced by the Principal Judge, Flavia Zeija on the 5th October 2021, follow the appointment of new judges.
The deployments will take immediate effect whereas the transfers are to take effect by November 8th 2021. The transfers are delayed because the judges are required to complete matters that are before them and are in advanced stages.
