Procedure for appointment of members
164.Paragraph 3(1) provides that the Lord President is to appoint the members of the SCS other than the Lord Justice Clerk and the Chief Executive. This is because the Lord Justice Clerk is an ex officio member and the Chief Executive is appointed by the SCS as a whole in terms of paragraph 14(1) and not appointed by the Lord President alone. Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) make provision for regulations to be made prescribing the procedure to be followed for nominations or selection. For example regulations made under this paragraph might provide that the Senators of the College of Justice would nominate the judicial member listed at paragraph 2(2)(c) and that the six sheriffs principal would nominate the judicial member listed at paragraph 2(2)(d).
