Judges: Conflict of Interests
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many judges have recused in England and Wales in 2023-24.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The Ministry of Justice does not hold this information. This is because a decision to recuse is a judicial responsibility. Whilst individual court and tribunal centres may hold records of recusals, the information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
