Requested move

[edit]

"Life tenure (until mandatory retirement at age 70)"

[edit]

This obviously isn't correct as Baroness Hale is currently 73. Indeed, it's more complicated and has to do with the forced retirement age of the judicial office a justice held, if any, before 31 March 1995. I gather this is a rather oblique reference to the previous forced judicial retirement age of 75, which was reduced to 70 under the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993. I'll add a footnote describing this, but if anyone has any other complications, please add them. --Inops (talk) 11:17, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seniority of the President of the Supreme Court vs the Lord Chief Justice

[edit]

Something that did not make sense to me was that the President of the Supreme Court was described as not being the most senior judge in England and Wales and the Lord Chief Justice was however the page for the Court of Appeal (England and Wales) described him as being in charge of the Criminal and Civil Divisions of a court bound by the rulings of the Supreme Court. Therefore I had to make an amendment. Anyone with better technical legal expertise please correct me if I am wrong. 82.3.109.55 (talk) 10:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
