Part 2: Legislative and executive competence: further provision Part 3: Welsh Tribunals Schedule 5: President of Welsh Tribunals
Part 1 of the Schedule contains details about the two-stage appointment process of the President of the Welsh Tribunals. It provides that the Lord Chief Justice must consult Welsh Ministers and the Lord Chancellor before he or she appoints the preferred candidate. If no agreement is reached or that person is not someone who held or had held high judicial office, the Lord Chief Justice could request the Judicial Appointments Commission to carry out a recruitment exercise.
	Part 2 of the Schedule makes provision about the selection process that would be followed if the Judicial Appointments Commission were to carry out the recruitment of a President of Welsh Tribunals. It includes details about eligibility for selection, the composition of the selection panel and requires the Panel to determine the selection process to be applied and to consult with the Lord Chancellor and Welsh Ministers prior to recommending a candidate. The Judicial Appointments Commission are bound by their usual guiding principles, namely that selection must solely be on merit and have regard to the need to encourage judicial diversity. The Schedule also contains an order-making power to allow the Lord Chancellor to make further regulations (with the agreement of the Welsh Ministers and the Lord Chief Justice) about the precise process to be applied.
	Part 3 of the Schedule makes provision about the President of Welsh Tribunals’ terms of office, including arrangements for resignation, retirement, remuneration and oaths of allegiance.
