The Supreme Court of China has hired retired Chief Justice Bart Katureebe as a member of its expert Committee on adjudication of international commercial disputes for the next four years.
Justice Katureebe retired on June 20th this year after clocking the mandatory age of 70 and he had since been resting at his upcountry home.
The appointment letter certifies that Bart Magunda Katureebe is appointed as a member of International Commercial Expert Committee of the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China for a four-year term from December 8th, 2020 to December 8, 2024.
