Judicial governance
(Question No 1002)
Mr Stefaniak asked the Attorney-General, upon notice, on 9 March 2006:
Does the Government have a blue-print of how it sees judicial governance operating and working in the territory; if so, what are the details of such a blue-print.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The convention that the Executive is responsible for the administration and financing of the courts, with the judiciary responsible for the determination of cases, remains the fundamental principle of governance within the Territory.
The Courts Governance Committee will consider any proposals for a change to, or refinement of, the existing governance arrangements.
The Government recognises that collaboration is vital in effective governance arrangements and welcomes the participation of the heads of the ACT courts in regular meetings with the Executive.
