Judgment No. HB 120/2002

Case No. HC 1969/2002

versus

THE MINISTER OF LANDS, AGRICULTURE &

RURAL RESETTLEMENT

and

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL

CHIWESHE J

BULAWAYO

Adv. Wernberg for the applicant

B Ndove for the respondents

CHIWESHE J: In this unopposed matter I am asked to declare that

sections 8, 9 and 10 of the Land Acquisition Act (Chapter 20:10) made in terms of the

Land Acquisition Act No. 6 of 2002 are invalid being in conflict with those sections

of the Constitution of Zimbabwe cited in the draft order.

In essence I am being asked to state the law. That being the case I would

require that both parties prepare and file written heads of argument and set the matter

down for hearing within the next seven days.

For that reason I am at this stage unable to grant the order sought. Matter

postponed to 5 September 2002 for argument. Costs reserved to the application.
