I have this friend whose has applied for a Divorce on grounds of cruelty, the wife responded with a cross petition seeking for divorce and alo filed a petition for determintion of Maintainence, pende lite. the maintainance cause was presented and defened by advocates of both parties. the rulling was to be given, and after that, the divorce case was to be heard.
The ruling was not delivered on the day mentioned by the court, as the Judge was not present and had other pressing matters.
It has Now been published that a judiciary vetting Board has determined that the Judge is found unsuitable/ unfit to be holding office as Judge.
My question: what happens to the matter that was heard and the ruling. Can it be appealed if delivered.
Has the divorce case to be applied fresh or will the court registry give dates based on the same petiton / cross petition.
