THE Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has set up a special litigation commission to deal with the matter involving Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe, the SABC reported
In 2008, the Constitutional Court's judges told the media that they had laid a complaint against Hlophe with the JSC, claiming he had made an improper attempt to influence a case related to President Jacob Zuma.
Hlophe brought a counter complaint that his rights were violated when the judges issued the media statement.
In March, the Constitutional Court judges denied Hlophe's application for leave to appeal a misconduct case between him and them.
The JSC began interviews in Cape Town yesterday to fill 12 positions for judges in the Supreme Court of Appeal, the Constitutional Court and the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, and Pretoria and Johannesburg high courts.
The interviews end on Friday.
