EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Judiciary and Courts (Scotland) Act 2008 (Commencement No. 2) Order 2009 (S.S.I. 2009/192 (C.15)) was made on 18th May 2009 and brought certain provisions of the Judiciary and Courts (Scotland) Act 2008 into force on 1st June 2009. Those provisions included Chapter 3 of Part 2 of that Act which establishes the Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland on a statutory basis. Prior to 1st June 2009 the Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland existed on a non-statutory basis. This Order makes transitional provision so that the recommendations for appointment to the offices of sheriff and part time sheriff of the previous Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland can be used until such time as the new Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland makes its own recommendations for appointment to those offices.
