- The Bailiff 's Consultative Panel should no longer be consulted about the appointment of the Crown Officers.
Answer
These recommendations will be addressed through the development of a proposal for the establishment of a Judicial and Legal Services Commission. This project is referred to at page 57 of the Draft Annex to the Medium Term Financial Plan Addition for 2017-2019. Officers within the Department for Community and Constitutional Affairs are currently developing this proposal, which it is expected will be the subject of public consultation in early 2017.
