Section 142 — Senior Courts Act 2016: Judge not to undertake other employment or hold other office

142 Judge not to undertake other employment or hold other office (1) A Judge or an Associate Judge must not undertake any other paid employment or hold any other office (whether paid or not) without the approval of the Chief Justice in consultation (in the case of an Associate Judge, a High Court Judge, or a Court of Appeal Judge) with the appropriate head of court. (2) An approval under subsection (1) may only be given if the appropriate head of court is satisfied that undertaking the employment or holding the office is consistent with the Judge’s judicial office. (3) However, subsection (1) does not apply to another office if an enactment permits or requires the office to be held by a Judge. (4) In this section, appropriate head of court means— (a) the President of the Court of Appeal, if the Judge is a Court of Appeal Judge: (b) the Chief High Court Judge, if— (i) the Judge is a High Court Judge but not a Court of Appeal Judge; or (ii) the Judge is an Associate Judge.
