The Registrar’s Office had earlier announced a full court reference and a farewell dinner on the same day, with the latter being hosted by the Supreme Court Bar Association, which Justice Isa agreed to attend.
While it is customary to hold a dinner for retiring judges or Chief Justices, Justice Isa has opted not to follow this tradition.
