Judicial selection: Fee-paid Economist Members of the Upper Tribunal Tax and Chancery Chamber

The Judicial Appointments Commission, which selects candidates for judicial office in England and Wales, and for some tribunals with UK-wide powers, is running a judicial selection exercise.

It has four vacancies available for economists, accountants or other senior-level financial business specialists as fee-paid non-legal tribunal members in the Upper Tribunal Tax and Chancery Chamber. Tribunals make judicial decisions in trade remedy disputes. This is a part-time role with a public service remit that contributes to financial and regulatory legal decisions. Successful candidates will be entitled to a fee for each day they sit in addition to the satisfaction of sitting on a panel, likely to include a High Court judge, that makes ground-breaking decisions involving a new area of law in the UK. It can be combined with a candidate’s current profession.

The closing date is Tuesday 24th January. More details can be found here.
