Implications of ruling on retirement age

The Court of Appeal decision on the retirement age of judges of the High Court, Court Of Appeal and Supreme Court sets a powerful precedent, but also has several legal, political and judicial ramifications.

From the outset, this matter is Appealable. The bigger question is whether the Supreme Court as currently constituted, can hear such an appeal. The difficulty in constituting a Supreme Court Bench is both Herculean and totally impractical for the reasons that the Chief Justice is due to retire on June 30 and I doubt he would be willing to sit on another explosive appeal, which could drag on and on.
