Justice Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici has congratulated Magistrate Lawrence Quintano following his nomination to become a judge, and lawyers Mark Chetcuti and Marse-Ann Farrugia, who are to be appointed judge and magistrate respectively. The Cabinet approved their nomination yesterday.
Dr Farrugia will replace Dr Quintano while the latter and Dr Chetcuti will be filling the vacancies created by the retirement of Mr Justice Joseph Galea Debono and impending departure of Chief Justice Vincent de Gaetano, who has been elected to serve on the European Court of Human Rights.
It has not yet been decided who will be the next Chief Justice.
