What is the Governing Chamber

The Governing Chamber is the governing body of the courts of the Autonomous Region. It performs organisational and administrative tasks.

The Board of Governance of the High Court of Justice will be presided by the Chief Justice of those bodies and by the Chief Justices of each of their divisions and by the Chief Justice of the Provincial Court of each Autonomous Region and by the same number of judges or magistrates belonging to the Judiciary appointed to that territory. One of the members of the Board will be a magistrate unless there are no candidates of that rank.

Boards of Governance will meet at least twice a month unless there are pending matters and as may times as may be necessary in order to discuss urgent issues for the administration of justice, when deemed necessary by the Chief Justice of the High Court of Justice, when requested by a third part of its members submitting a proposal stating the grounds for their request indicating the matters to be transacted thereat or when requested by the Secretary of Governance in order to discuss issues which refer to judicial officers or to Court Registrars who report to him. Notice of the meeting will be made by the Chief Justice indicating the matters to be discussed.
