The Supreme Court (Judicial Appointments) Regulations 2013
Provisions concerning the appointment of persons as judges of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom are set out in Part 3 of, and Schedule 8 to, the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4) (“the 2005 Act”). However section 20 of, and Schedule 13 to, the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c.22) make a number of amendments to Part 3 of, and Schedule 8 to, the 2005 Act. In particular, provisions relating to the membership of selection commissions for the appointment of persons as judges of the Supreme Court and the selection process to be applied are no longer wholly set out in the 2005 Act itself but in regulations made under new section 27A of the 2005 Act.
