The work on the scheme of the Judicial Council Bill is at an advanced stage of development. The Chief Justice is in consultation with his fellow members of the judiciary on the details of the proposals and his response, taking into account that consultation, is expected in the near future. I intend to seek Government approval as quickly as possible for drafting of the Bill.
