MAGISTRATES' COURTS

These Regulations amend the Magistrates' Courts Committees (Constitution) Regulations 1973. They change the election procedure for magistrates' courts committees and the size of committees. Committee members will be elected by postal ballot, after having details submitted in support of their candidature circulated to the justices entitled to vote, on 1 February. The Regulations also reduce the maximum number of members a committee may have to 20; and make provision with respect to persons entitled to attend the meetings of a committee. Transitional provisions provide for the extension of the life of existing committees until 31 March 1993.
