Insight on High Court Section

This section establishes the hierarchical structure of Zimbabwe's High Court, positioning it as a "superior court of record" - meaning its proceedings are officially documented and it has authority over lower courts. The leadership triad (Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justice, and Judge President) ensures administrative continuity and judicial oversight, while allowing for expansion of the bench as needed through additional appointments.
