An Act to establish the Judiciary and Judicial Hierarchy of The Independent Order

Short Title

Judiciary

(3) Any member of the Independent Order may apply to be a member of the Judiciary provided they are a 'qualified' person as per the JPSE Act 2014.

(4) Members who meet the application criteria will undergo an educational course at the Elpidia Law School. Those who pass can be considered for judicial appointment.

(5) The educational course at the Elpidia Law School shall be administered by the Attorney General or his authorized agent.

(6) It is the responsibility of the Premier to appoint and remove judges with the backing of a majority of the Senate.

(7) The Grand Chancellor is responsible for appointing and removing the Lord Chief Justice.

(8) The Attorney General is appointed as head of the Judicial system of the Independent Order in a neutral supervisory capacity.

(9) Promotion of Judges within the Judiciary is the responsibility of the Premier with consultation of the executive government.

Judicial Hierarchy

(10) The Judicial hierarchy shall be as follows (from most senior to least senior)

  • Attorney General (supervisory capacity)
  • Lord Chief Justice
  • Appellate Judges (Privy Council)
  • Archon
  • Judge


Judicial Inquiry

(11) A Judicial Inquiry is a type of hearing and as such the rules of the JPSE Act 2014 apply to it.

(12) The hearing is concerned with issues relating to the governance of the Independent Order.

(13) The Chancellery may commission a Judicial Inquiry

(14) The Premier (or any government minister) requires the backing of the Senate to commission a Judicial Inquiry- this is to be done through a Senate motion.

(15) The Senate or Citizens Assembly may request a Judicial Inquiry by means of a majority vote of the body's membership.

(16) When a Judicial Inquiry is requested or commissioned the reason for the Inquiry must be stated in the motion.

(17) It is the responsibility of the Attorney General to set up a Judicial Inquiry (e.g. assigning the judge).

(18) The Judge assigned to the Judidical Inquiry with the aid of the Court Clerk is then responsible for all aspects of the hearing such as the questioning of witnesses.

Constitutional Amendments

(19) The following section shall be added after Section (42):

"The Lord Chief Justice is to be appointed and removed by the Grand Chancellor.”

(20) Section (39) shall be amended thusly:
