Chamber of Advocates welcomes appointment of new Chief Justice

The Chamber of Advocates as the representative of the legal profession in Malta

would like to congratulate Mr Justice Mark Chetcuti on his appointment as the new

Chief Justice.

The Chamber welcomes the appointment of Mr Justice Chetcuti and recognises

that this is a historical moment in the history of Maltese judicial appointments in

that, for the first time, the choice of the Chief Justice was made following

consensus by both sides of the house.

His 10 years of experience in the Judiciary will be invaluable for his new

appointment and we are hopeful that the wisdom, knowledge, and experience the

Chief Justice has gained as a member of the judiciary will serve him well as he

works to ensure that the Judiciary fulfils its mandate to administer justice in our

country, without fear or favour.

The Chamber would like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing Chief Justice

Joseph Azzopardi for his service and for always being available to collaborate with

the Chamber, in the best interest of justice.
