| Synopsis: |
|
The Royal Court is presided over by the Bailiff - a full time judge (currently Mr. Michael Birt) who is appointed by the Crown. He is also a member and president of the States (Jersey’s parliament). He has a right to speak, but to vote only if opinion is divided. The other full time judge is the Deputy Bailiff - currently Mr. William Bailhache QC, who is authorised to act in the same way as the Bailiff. The dual role of these two office holders, as well as the role of two other Crown Appointments, the Solicitor General and the Attorney General, is currently the subject of a review by a panel chaired by Lord Carswell, a former Lord Chief Justice in Northern Ireland. |
