These appointments were made following the vacancy of four positions of responsibility after the retirement decision of the judges who occupied these positions, and the vacancy of three others after the judges concerned were elected, on October 23, 2021, as representatives of their colleagues at the Council during the second term (2022-2026).

These appointments, relating to 14 posts, i.e. 6.45% of all judicial responsibilities, concerned eight judges who were assigned positions of responsibility for the first time, while the rest of the posts were entrusted to judges currently occupying missions of lower or similar grades.

These are the positions of:

• First President of the Appeals Court (1),
• First President of the Commercial Court of Appeals (1),
• President of the Court of First Instance (7),
• President of the Commercial Court (1),
• Prosecutor General of the King at a Court of First Instance (3)
• Prosecutor General of the King at a Commercial Court (1)

It should be noted that a judicial official was relieved of his duties.

The appointments aim at injecting new blood into the judicial positions of responsibility in several jurisdictions, as well as achieving great efficiency in the judicial performance and even greater transparency in management, appointing judicial officials capable of accompanying the strategy of the Supreme Council of the Judicial Power in terms of morality, integrity and righteousness, and rendering the independence of justice at the service of the fair application of the law.
