4) All authorities proposed to be submitted must be in a proper compilation with an index and running page numbers. The index must refer to the running page numbers and not only internal law report page numbers. Relevant paragraph numbers must also be noted on the index. A soft copy in PDF is required of the compilation of authorities. Loose authorities tendered one after the other will not be accepted.
5) Similarly, a separate compilation of previous orders with an index and running paging is required.
DO NOT:
INCLUDE ANY OTHER FORMATS (.odt, .eml, etc) SEND FILES WITH LINKS TO A GOOGLE DRIVE OR OTHER CLOUD ACCOUNT. THE FILES MUST BE ON PEN DRIVES ONLY.
The endeavour is to shift to paperless hearings, starting with final hearings. All Advocates should have the same files in a commonly arranged sequence. Advocates are encouraged to avoid using paper, and may use their laptops and tablets freely.Page 6 of 6
