In March 2013, LEGABIBO put a case before the courts to challenge refusal to register the organisation. In November 2014 LEGABIBO won the case at the High Court, the government of Botswana appealed, and in March 2016 at the Court of Appeal a full bench of judges ruled unanimously in favour of LEGABIBO.
