Magistrates want double the salary
Judges and magistrates want their salaries to double, according to figures released on Bondi+ last night.
Judges are eyeing an increase to €92,000 from €52,000 while magistrates want their €46,000 annual salary to be raised to €90,000.
If the proposed figures are taken on board, the Chief Justice’s salary would increase from €59,000 to €100,000.
The figures, which were given to the programme by what the producers said were “very reliable sources”, come after magistrates and judges boycotted a number of events of state and some spoke anonymously about their conditions needing improvement.

Are they going to double their productivity.. How shameful they are when we all know that sentences takes yrs to pass through our courts.

Nissugerixxi li nahsbu fuqha din il-haga u ndumu nahsbu fuqha daqs kemm iddumu biex jinqatu il-kawziet fil-qorti taghna. Nahseb jekk naghmlu hekk hafna minn dawk li jridu din iz-zieda, jilhqu jkunu mhux ghand il-bambin. Sintendi dejjem jekk ma jitolbux lill-bambin itiehom ghomor aktar minn haddiehor ukoll.

Why not? They should throw in also a larger car, shorter hours and longer summer holidays!

Keep the salaries the same, change the judges.
