Who is the chief Justice of the Magistrates Court?

• A. The Honorable Sir Hortman Longly
• B. The Honorable Mr. Anthony Ferguson
• C. The Honorable Dame Maria Clarke
• D. The Honorable Sir John Doe

Answer: (A)

Understanding who leads a court hinges on recognizing the title and rank of the judge in charge. The chief Justice is the senior official who supervises the court and presides over its most important matters, and in many formal contexts this leadership is signaled by the combination The Honorable with a knighthood. The option The Honorable Sir Hortman Longly matches that pattern—the name paired with a knighthood marks the top judicial position in the Magistrates Court in this context. The other names carry different honorifics or do not convey the same level of senior authority, so they don’t fit as the chief Justice here.
