Members, Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42(3)(c), I now refer the Message, including the curriculum vitae of the nominee, to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to undertake the necessary approval hearings. I wish to guide the Committee and the House as follows: (i) The Committee should notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings expeditiously. The notification should, therefore, be made immediately; and, (ii) The Committee should thereafter commence the necessary approval hearings and table its report on or before Tuesday, 25th May, 2021 for debate and decision by the House. Although the Committee and the House have 28 days to consider and make a decision on the nomination, in view of the compelling public interest and the unique place of the office of the Chief Justice within our constitutional and legal order, the Committee is requested to consider the nomination on a priority basis. I thank you!"
