The position of chief justice is authorised by Article 93(2) of the
Constitution of the Bahamas. Under Article 94(1), the
governor-general appoints the chief justice on the recommendation of the
prime minister after consultation with the leader of the opposition. Removal of the chief justice is governed by Article 96(6); the prime minister recommends removal to the governor-general, who then forms a tribunal of at least three members selected by the governor-general in accordance with the advice of the prime minister. Under Article 98(2), the chief justice may be invited to sit on the Court of Appeal by the
president of that court.[1]
