Supreme Court: the Shortlist
I understand that four candidates were interviewed on Saturday afternoon for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Each was allowed one hour, starting at 2 pm.
The four were:
- Lady Justice Arden
- Lord Justice Dyson
- Lord Justice Maurice Kay
- Lord Justice Wilson
I do not know which candidate the panel chose. However, given that Lord Justice Dyson came a close second for the post of Master of the Rolls in July, I would regard him as the favourite for appointment.
If I am wrong about Lord Justice Dyson, I would expect Lord Justice Maurice Kay to get the job.
