101. Court fixtures – Representation by Counsel – Constitution section 10—It is for the Court to decide when a case is to be fixed for trial and although it has always been the practice to take into account the availability of Counsel engaged in the case, Courts cannot exercise their discretion subject to Counsel’s requirements. The Constitution guarantees to any litigant the right to be represented by Counsel, provided however he retains a Counsel who is willing and free to appear for him on the day fixed by the Court.
