Such judges are often appointed to deal with particularly long cases or where it is otherwise inappropriate for the Bailiff or Deputy Bailiff to sit.
Weekly court lists
Two weeks of detailed scheduling are published each Friday afternoon one week in advance, and are updated/amended as appropriate.
Contact the Bailiff's Judicial Secretary for more information.
