List Of Lords Justices Of Appeal
This is a list of Lords Justices of Appeal, the puisne judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. They serve with the five ex officio members of the court:
- Lord Chief Justice
- Master of the Rolls
- President of the Queen's Bench Division
- President of the Family Division
- Chancellor of the High Court
- Supreme Court judges appointed from the Court of Appeal or were eligible to serve on it when appointed to the Supreme Court
- Former Lord Chancellors, but only those who served before 12 June 2003
Judges of the Court of Appeal are within months of appointment made members of the Privy Council, enabling them to serve as members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and entitling them to the style The Right Honourable. Because all members of the court are appointed to the Privy Council, that style is omitted, but new Lords Justices awaiting appointment to the Privy Council are noted.
The Senior Courts Act 1981 limits the number of Lords Justices of Appeal to 38, and the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 mandates that they, along with other senior judges throughout the UK retire at 70 years of age. Judges appointed before 31 March 1995 are excepted and may wait to retire at 75.
