Part 7: Abolition of office of assistant recorder
395.From April 2000, appointments to the office of assistant Recorder (fee-paid judicial office holders with a fixed-term appointment) were no longer made, with all subsequent appointments being made to the office of Recorder. However, residual references to the office of assistant Recorder still remain in legislation. Paragraph 89 removes any reference to this office in section 24 of the Courts Act 1971, and provides for consequential amendments to be made to that Act, the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993, the Senior Courts Act 1981, the Courts Act 2003, the CRA and the 2007 Act.
