The Minister and the Chief Judge are both committed to the principle of judicial independence and the furtherance of the efficiency of the courts and the administration of justice. It is therefore mutually agreed that it is desirable to define in a Memorandum of Understanding the authority and responsibility of the Office of the Chief Judge for financial and administrative matters. This memorandum amends the original Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 21, 1993 (by the Honourable Marion Boyd, Attorney General, and the Honourable Sidney B. Linden, Chief Judge) and the amended Memorandum of Understanding signed on January 22, 1996 (by the Honourable Charles Harnick, Attorney General, and the Honourable Sidney B. Linden, Chief Judge).
