The Chief Justice of the Cook Islands is the head of the Cook Islands judiciary. They preside over the High Court of the Cook Islands and serve as a member of the Cook Islands Court of Appeal . The office was established by the Cook Islands Constitution .[1] [2]
The Chief Justice is appointed by the King's Representative on the advice of the Executive Council .[3] They must be qualified to sit on the High Court, meaning that they must have either served as a justice of the High Court of New Zealand , the Court of Appeal of New Zealand , or the Supreme Court of New Zealand , or have practiced as a barrister in New Zealand or a country with an equivalent legal system for at least seven years.[4] When the position of Chief Justice is vacant, or the holder is absent or incapacitated, the senior judge of the High Court serves as Acting Chief Justice.[5]
The Chief Justice also acts in place of the King's Representative if that position is vacant or the appointee is absent or unable to perform their duties.[6]
