Magistrates Court (Periodical Court) (Cashel Valley) Notice, 2024
Cashel Valley in Manicaland is appointed as a place for holding a periodical magistrates court — residents there no longer have to travel to the nearest permanent court for matters the periodical court can hear.
The Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs has appointed Cashel Valley, in Manicaland Province, as a place where a periodical magistrates court may sit.
A periodical court is a magistrates court that sits at a designated place on a schedule rather than permanently. Appointing the place is the legal step that lets a magistrate hold court there at all; it does not by itself set sitting days.
The notice contains nothing further — no sitting dates, no jurisdictional limits and no fees. When the court will actually sit is a matter for the Judicial Service Commission and the provincial magistrate.
