The Western Cape High Court in Cape Town granted an interim order pending the outcome of a review application, which seeks to overturn parliament's decision to appoint Hlophe to the JSC.
Advocate Ngwako Maenetje, representing the JSC, argued the commission's decision to proceed with interviewing 51 candidates from Monday to 16 October - for various court positions in Hlophe's absence was appropriate.
Maenetje said the JSC was obligated to adhere to court rulings.
He countered Advocate Dali Mpofu's claim that the filing of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party's application for leave to appeal led to the suspension of the interdict.
