Defining Moment
A notable case that stands out is Commissioner of Police v Commercial Farmers Union, a 2000 decision that remains a significant landmark in Zimbabwe's constitutional jurisprudence.
The case originated from an application by the Commercial Farmers Union against the Commissioner of Police during the height of land invasions, where veterans of the liberation war occupied numerous white-owned commercial farms.
The Commercial Farmers Union had obtained an order granted by Justice Garwe, with the consent of the Commissioner of Police, following the invasions and occupation of farms.
