RECORDING COMMENTS General 3.1 3.2 Marking All referees are asked to provide substantive written comment about the candidate’s skills and abilities on the Assessment Form enclosed with this Guide.

If there are insufficient copies of the assessment form for your needs, please photocopy one of the originals, or, if you prefer, contact the Secretary of the Judicial and Legal Services Commission.

If it is not convenient to use the form supplied, please express your views in a letter.
However, the Judicial and Legal Services Commission would find it most helpful if you addressed the criteria outlined in paragraph 2.1 and included the information requested on the form.

3.3.

The Judicial and Legal Services Commission will have regard to the criteria at paragraphs 2.1 when considering an application.
You are asked for a marking in relation to each of these criteria, in accordance with the following scale: Not demonstrated Insufficiently demonstrated Demonstrated [6] [7] [8] [9] Well demonstrated [5] Very well demonstrated 3.4 The Judicial and Legal Services Commission has emphasized that it will place more weight on particularized comments [see paragraphs 3.6-3.9] and, in order to ensure that applicants are judged by different referees on the same basis, has asked that all referees use the following overall classifications: [1] Not suited for appointment [2] Not yet suited for appointment [3] Suited for appointment [4] Well suited for appointment Ranking 3.5 In a highly competitive situation like this, it would be very helpful to the Judicial and Legal Services Commission to be given a ranking of the leading candidates.
The Judicial and Legal Services Commission asks that all referees give an order of preference for those candidates in respect of whom they award an A marking.

Comments 3.6 The Judicial and Legal Services Commission emphasizes that comments on an applicant’s suitability or otherwise for appointment to the High Court must be fully supported by detailed reasons.
Any comments on an applicant’s suitability or otherwise for appointment to the High Court which are not supported by detailed reasons will be disregarded.

3.7 3.8 The Judicial and Legal Services Commission emphasizes that the weight attributed to a referee’s opinions will depend on how particularized they are and how close referees are to the sources of their information.
The Judicial and Legal Services Commission requests that you give details of your knowledge of the candidate – whether it is through their judicial work or through their practice; and whether you have any other connections, such as chambers or professional associations.

You are also required to give an indication as to how frequently you come into contact with the candidate and how recent is your knowledge of him or her.

40 January 16th, 2020 THE ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA OFFICIAL GAZETTE No.
3 3.9 The comments, classifications and rankings that you provide may assist the Judicial and Legal Services Commission to determine how a candidate ranks.

Referees must assess each candidate’s suitability against the criteria for appointment.

You are asked to be objective in your assessments and to provide reasons in support.

Allegations of Misconduct 3.10 The Judicial and Legal Services Commission requests that referees views should be expressed fully and frankly.
Any reservations and recommendations should also be indicated.

In considering the views that are expressed the Commission will attach no weight to unparticularized allegations of misconduct.

The Judicial and Legal Services Commission wishes to consider only specific allegations of misconduct in their full context, including the views of the applicant concerned.
If a specific allegation of misconduct against an applicant is made, the Commission will therefore seek the referee’s consent to send details of the allegation to the applicant, to enable him or her to comment on the allegation.

If consent is not given to reveal details of any specific allegations of misconduct to the applicant concerned, the Judicial and Legal Services Commission will disregard the allegation when considering the results of the consultation.
3.11 The foregoing applies only to specific allegations of misconduct; it does not apply to more general reservations expressed about an individual’s professional abilities and qualities.
For practical purposes, ‘misconduct’ refers to conduct which, if the allegation were substantiated, would be regarded by a professional Association as an infringement of the relevant principles of professional conduct; and/or might, prima facie, cause the Judicial and Legal Services Commission to consider whether to initiate disciplinary proceedings, where the person concerned is a holder of a relevant judicial or legal office.
Returning your Completed Assessment Forms 3.12 All completed assessment forms should be sent directly to the Secretary of the Judicial and Legal Services Commission to reach him on or before Friday, 14th February 2020.
