Summary

ZimLII is a member of the global Free Access to Law Movement dedicated to promoting justice and rule of law by maximizing access at no cost to public legal information. This organization operates closely with African and international free access communities to address systemic barriers.

The core mission centers on the enforcement of interdicts, a legal concept requiring three specific elements: the existence of an order, sufficient knowledge of the law, and willful noncompliance by the defendant. These components together form the foundational framework for ensuring fair legal proceedings.

Additionally, the institution acknowledges the robust commonsense approach required when assessing disputes of fact, particularly in cases involving affidavit evidence. It also holds a nuanced view on fine enforcement, noting that suspended fines may sometimes be committal.

ZimLII actively utilizes writs to provide enforcement mechanisms. Furthermore, it employs policeheriff investigation techniques to uncover and document violations of court orders, ensuring that these legal tools remain effective and accessible throughout the process.

ZimLII's dedication lies in providing high-quality, legal information to the widest audience, making justice available to individuals regardless of their status or financial means.
