General Scheme of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Herrick:

In reflecting back on recent practice, that only refers to where there were nominations through the Judicial Appointments Advisory Board process and the Government followed that. The status quois that judicial promotions, namely, promotions from among the ranks of sitting judges, do not go through that process. The Government has been making most of the senior judicial appointments outside of any conventional process of any type.
