Tuesday 31 July 2007 at 4:43 pm | In News | Post Comment

In 2006-2007 the Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC) dealt with 904 valid complaints.
Judges’ conduct resulted in disciplinary action against two ‘mainstream’ judges.
Two complaints were upheld against tribunal members. 28 were allowed for magistrates.

Half led to removal from office.
Others received reprimands, formal warnings and advice.

The reasons for disciplinary actions included being subject to criminal proceedings, misuse of judicial status and inappropriate behaviour or comments.

Wigs were off last week, this week they are back on….
