Tçnâ koe John,

 

Thank you for contacting the Ministry of Justice (the Ministry).

 

We acknowledge receipt of your request under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act).  Specifically, you requested:

 

I note from several of my previous OIA requests that you currently have a
number of statutory appointments under consideration. Could you please
provide a list of those appointments that are still in progress, along
with the stage each has reached (for example, shortlisted, interviewed, or
progressing to APH)?

 

I have also noticed that roles such as District Court Judge, Environment
Court Judge, and High Court Judge consistently appear on your recruitment
page. Could you please clarify the reason for this? Are you continuously
recruiting for these positions, and if so, how many vacancies are you
currently seeking to fill?

 

This has been forwarded to the relevant business unit to respond to. 

 

The Ministry may publish the response to your request on our website. You
can expect that if the response is to be published that this will take
place at least 10 working days after the response has been sent you. Your
name and any other personal information will be withheld under Section
