4.38 Concern was raised in regard to procedural laws. Some of which were said to be ultra vires. For example an accused person charged with murder case cannot come before a Judge for trial unless PI is conducted even if he is ready to plead guilty. The suggestion was that there is no need of PIs and that the P.H. was enough.

public hearing/private hearing


Explanation:
I cannot produce any refs for this, so low c/l

However, looking at several High Court orders from South Africa, this abbreviation - p/h or PH - appears on many of them. Some of the ones I have seen were definitely not preliminary hearings but final hearings.

I am inclined to think this is either public hearing or private hearing.
