Shabana Mahmood Countersigner The individual who countersigned the Warrant. Hilary Benn (Secretary of State for Northern Ireland) Shabana Mahmood (Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice) Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Black and white Royal Arms at the top. Royal name is capitalized and in boldface; first instance begins with a drop cap. Appointee's name and office are in boldface. Date clause has an unusual amount of handwriting. The calendar year is also omitted. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. While other Northern Ireland Warrants are quite similar to their Westminster counterparts, this one is quite different from the Warrants for the appointment of High Court Justices in England and Wales (cf. <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/594">this example</a>). Most notably, there's no docket. It's also countersigned by both the Northern Ireland Secretary and the Lord Chancellor/Secretary of State for Justice. This kind of double countersignature is rare aside from Lords Commissioners of HM Treasury (who always countersign in pairs).
