I am not trying to have a row with the Minister. It is a matter of public record that every time a judge is nominated by Government for appointment the end of the Government notice states that the person was recommended for appointment having gone through the Judicial Appointments Advisory Board process. I do not think there is any dispute between us. Is it not the case that the only time in the Minister's experience in government when that did not happen was in respect of the nomination on 13 June?
