CHAPTER 9 RE-EMPLOYMENT OF RETIRED JUDGES AND SHERIFFS
What was proposed?
9. In Chapter 9 of the consultation paper we proposed an arrangement that would allow a sheriff principal to engage a retired sheriff in the same way that the Lord President is presently able to invite a retired judge to sit. We also proposed that the consent of Ministers would not be required in either case.
What views were expressed in the consultation?
9.2 This proposal was almost unanimously welcomed.
How do we intend to proceed?
9.3 We have prepared draft sections to implement this proposal. These are sections 13 and 14 in the draft Bill.
