Regulation 7 Selection of chairmen of courts boards
The Lord Chancellor is to select one of the members of each courts board to be its chairman.
Where he is considering selecting a chairman, the Lord Chancellor must identify, and publish in such manner as he considers appropriate—
the qualities and abilities which in his view are likely to be the most relevant, and
any experience and qualifications which in his view are likely to be relevant,
in considering the suitability of candidates to be appointed.
Before taking the steps set out in paragraph (2), the Lord Chancellor must consult a person who has been trained in a manner approved by the Commissioner for Public Appointments to act as an independent appointments assessor.
Except as provided by regulation 10, before selecting a member of a courts board to be its chairman, the Lord Chancellor must consult a courts board appointments advisory panel.
