The objects and reasons of this Bill are to amend the Constitution of Malta in relation to the justice sector. In particular the amendments provide for the removal of the exclusion of Judges and of the Chief Justice from being appointed to the office of President of Malta, for the establishment of three (3) sections of the Constitutional Court, for the establishment of a constitutional procedure for the involvement of the judiciary in the process of appointment of the Chief Justice and for the possibility for a Judge of the Superior Courts and a Magistrate of the Inferior Courts to remain in office until the age of seventy (70) years, subject to the approval of such extension of tenure by the Commission for the Administration of Justice. The Bill also provides for a change in the procedure for the determination of complaints against members of the legal professions in order to provide for time limits which are more feasible in the current situation, as well as establish and regulate the role and appointment of the Commissioner for Standards of the Judiciary and renew the framework governing disciplinary proceedings against Judges and Magistrates. This Bill also provides that in the absence of a two-thirds majority approval for the appointment of a new Auditor General, the current Auditor General shall remain in office until a new Auditor General is appointed and this in line with the procedure applicable to other Constitutional offices which require a vote in favour of two-thirds of the members of the House.
