  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations replace the Justices' Chief Executives and Justices' Clerks (Appointment) Regulations 1995. They repeat the provisions in those Regulations apart from reflecting the removal of the requirement that a justices' chief executive be qualified for appointment as a justices' clerk. (The requirement was imposed by subsection (5) of section 40 of the 1997 Act, which has been omitted by section 87 of the Access to Justice Act 1999.)\nThey also require a magistrates' courts committee that wants to make a dual appointment to explain, when they apply for approval of the appointment, why it considers it essential that one person should be appointed to the offices of both justices' chief executive and justices' clerk.",
