  • The Sovereign will now be referred to as His Majesty the King

    Cases involving the Sovereign will now be referred to as His Majesty the King. The Tribunal will make changes to existing case names when next corresponding or meeting with the parties. 

    Parties will update the case name on their existing cases from Her Majesty the Queen to His Majesty the King when next corresponding or meeting with the Tribunal. If a party or the Tribunal inadvertently fails to update the case name it will not be necessary to issue a correction. 

    Counsel with a QC (Queen’s Counsel) designation, will be referred to as KC (King’s Counsel) in future correspondence and meetings.
