Hearing on the Report of the Chief Justice of Gibraltar
[2009] UKPC 43 Privy Council No 0016 of 2009 HEARING ON THE REPORT OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF GIBRALTAR REFERRAL UNDER SECTION 4 OF THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE ACT 1833 before Lord Phillips Lord Hope Lord Rodger Lady Hale Lord Brown Lord Judge Lord Clarke ADVICE DELIVERED ON 12 November 2009 Heard on 15,16, 17, and 18 June 2009 Chief Justice of Gibraltar Governor of Gibraltar Michael Beloff QC Timothy Otty QC Paul Stanley (Instructed by Clifford (Instructed by Charles Chance LLP) Gomez & Co and Carter Ruck) Government of Gibraltar James Eadie QC (Instructed by R J M Garcia) LORD PHILLIPS : 1. The task of the Committee is to advise Her Majesty whether The Hon. Mr Justice Schofield, Chief Justice of Gibraltar, should be removed from office by reason of inability to discharge the functions of his office or for misbehaviour. The independence of the judiciary requires that a judge should never be removed without good cause and that the question of removal be determined by an appropriate independent and impartial tribunal. This principle applies with particular force where the judge in question is a Chief Justice. In this case the latter requirement has been abundantly satisfied both by the composition of the Tribunal that conducted the initial enquiry into the relevant facts and by the composition of this Committee. This is the advice of the majority of the Committee, namely, Lord Phillips, Lord Brown, Lord Judge and Lord Clarke. Security of tenure of judicial office under the Constitution 2. Gibraltar has two senior judges, the Chief Justice and a second Puisne Judge. -

Gibraltar's Constitutional Future
RESEARCH PAPER 02/37 Gibraltar’s Constitutional 22 MAY 2002 Future “Our aims remain to agree proposals covering all outstanding issues, including those of co-operation and sovereignty. The guiding principle of those proposals is to build a secure, stable and prosperous future for Gibraltar and a modern sustainable status consistent with British and Spanish membership of the European Union and NATO. The proposals will rest on four important pillars: safeguarding Gibraltar's way of life; measures of practical co-operation underpinned by economic assistance to secure normalisation of relations with Spain and the EU; extended self-government; and sovereignty”. Peter Hain, HC Deb, 31 January 2002, c.137WH. In July 2001 the British and Spanish Governments embarked on a new round of negotiations under the auspices of the Brussels Process to resolve the sovereignty dispute over Gibraltar. They aim to reach agreement on all unresolved issues by the summer of 2002. The results will be put to a referendum in Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar has objected to the process and has rejected any arrangement involving shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is pressing for the right of self-determination with regard to its constitutional future. The Brussels Process covers a wide range of topics for discussion. This paper looks primarily at the sovereignty debate. It also considers how the Gibraltar issue has been dealt with at the United Nations.

Press Release
PRESS RELEASE No. 119/2015 Date: 26th February 2015 Opposition created the fishing issue that they are now complaining about The latest statement from the Opposition on the enforcement of the law against fishing with nets shows that they have no policy on anything except misleading and confusing public opinion. The GSLP/Liberals in Opposition were against the 1999 fishing agreement from the moment that it was entered into by the previous Chief Minister and a group of Spanish fishermen. The latest statement from the GSD exemplifies how embarrassed Daniel Feetham seems to be about those actions of Sir Peter Caruana - despite having called him "the greatest Gibraltarian of all time." The fact is that there is today illegal fishing by Spanish fishermen because the GSD, which Mr Feetham leads, allowed it to happen and created the problem in the first place. It will be recalled that the agreement purported to allow fishing with nets even though this was against the law. It established a regime whereby Spanish fishermen could fish with impunity inside British Gibraltar Territorial Waters provided that they did so at a certain distance, in certain locations, in certain numbers and with certain methods. Therefore the regime that the GSD created when they were in office was not only illegal at base, it was also discriminatory in its application. It therefore should surprise nobody that the 2011 manifesto of the parties in Government contained a reference to no longer be bound by the 1999 fishing agreement and that once in Government this commitment was acted upon. However, what is surprising is the newly found zeal on the part of the GSD Opposition to champion this issue when they did the exact opposite of what they are saying now from 1999 until 2011. -
