(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Cayman Islands Constitution Order in the following ways. Firstly, the tenure of judges of the Grand Court is extended from the age of 65 to 70. Secondly, the Governor’s power to exercise disciplinary control over the Chief Justice and the President of the Court of Appeal is removed. And thirdly, the power to exercise disciplinary control over judges of the Grand Court and magistrates and judges of the Court of Appeal is transferred to the Chief Justice and the President of the Court of Appeal respectively.
The Governor’s constitutional power to remove the Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, judges of the Grand Court, magistrates and judges of the Court of Appeal from office is unaffected by this Order.
