Section 29: Supreme Court chief executive, officers and staff

47.Section 48 of the CRA prescribes that the Lord Chancellor must appoint the chief executive for the UK Supreme Court, after consulting the President of the Court. Similarly, section 49 of the CRA requires the Lord Chancellor to agree the numbers of officers and staff of the UK Supreme Court, and the terms on which these officers and staff are to be appointed.

48.Section 29 removes the Lord Chancellor from both of these processes, leaving the President of the UK Supreme Court solely responsible for appointing the chief executive and the chief executive responsible for determining the number of staff and officers of the Court.
