One of Qld's newest magistrates resigns

One of three new Queensland magistrates sworn in earlier this month has resigned from his position, citing personal reasons.

One of three new Queensland magistrates, who has been in the role for about two weeks, has resigned citing personal reasons.

Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath says Magistrate Peter Delibaltas, who was sworn in earlier this month, will return to a senior role with Legal Aid Queensland.

"For personal reasons, Mr Delibaltas is unable to continue with his recent appointment," Ms D'Ath said on Friday, confirming she had accepted his resignation.
