According to the registrar, the directive issued is a result of the small space in the court that cannot accommodate every member of the parties.

"Not everybody will be allowed to come in. The parties have large teams but the numbers will have to be restricted because the space cannot accommodate everybody," Amadi stated.

Amadi also stated that it will help to manage the crowds at the court and also give space to the media for the coverage of the hearing.

"We know many people will want to participate by coming in but this will not be possible because we are allowing the media to broadcast to the public...We don't want to run into problems with crowd management," the Chief Registrar added.

The session, which is scheduled to start at 11 am on Tuesday, will have all seven judges in attendance. Before Tuesday at 11 a.m., all joinder decisions will be made available online.
