The uMkhonto weSizwe Party MK Party has filed an urgent application seeking a declaration that the Judicial Service Commissions JSC's refusal to postpone next week's interviews was unconstitutional.
This was also to ensure that Dr John Hlophes legal battles, to serve on the body, were finalised.
MKP filed the papers on Wednesday to the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, arguing that the JSCs decision to proceed with interviews for several dozen judges next week was irrational and unlawful.
The party also requested an interdict to stop the scheduled week-long session.
Last Friday, the Western Cape High Court temporarily interdicted from being part of the JSCs work.
