"My role as Chief Justice requires, amongst other things, administering the Court of King's Bench in a way so as to enhance the reputation of, and public confidence in, not only our Court, but the judiciary as a whole.  To meet that objective, I, along with all of our talented judges, must work to ensure that we are providing a judicial service that is correct, prompt, transparent and now more than ever, accessible."
