Job Opportunity

By J

Now, whilst this may look a bit cheeky, I think this is pretty interesting. The Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) is recruiting for a Deputy President (see here) and, exceptionally, the Lord Chancellor has agreed to waive the requirement that you already be a judicial office holder. Solicitors and Barristers with 7 years PQE (or equivalent other legal experience) are entitled to apply. The salary is £128,296 and you get 30 days holiday, plus public and civil service holidays. I can’t imagine that the job is that hard. After all, most LVT appeals just involve reminding the LVT of the rules of natural justice.*

I wonder who will go for this? There are some current UT members who will, I presume, be interested. But what about other non-judicial office holders? There are some excellent lawyers out there who do the sort of work that the UT covers and I wonder if this might appeal to them?

*tongue firmly in cheek here. Not to be taken seriously.

J is a barrister. He considers housing law to be the single greatest kind of law known to humankind and finds it very odd that so few people share this view.

    “Not to be taken seriously.”

    Like most LVT decisions then?
