TellThemWhatYouThink doesn't work very well anymore

This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.

In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act: eligibility for judicial appointment

Consultation published by The Ministry of Justice View original »

The Ministry of Justice is consulting on a draft statutory instrument, made under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 relating to eligibility for judicial appointment.

The Act revises the statutory eligibility requirements for judicial appointment, and contains order-making powers enabling the Lord Chancellor to specify 'relevant qualifications', so that persons other than barristers and solicitors may become eligible to apply for judicial office.

The draft statutory instrument sets out the categories of judicial office for which Fellows of the Institute of Legal Executives, registered patent agents and registered trade mark agents are eligible.
