The Judicial Appointments & Conduct Ombudsman has published his first annual report, setting formal performance targets for next year and revealing a funding surplus of more than £100,000 for the last 12 months.
In his report, published today (17 July), Sir John Bridgstocke – who has responsibility for dealing with complaints about judges’ conduct and appointments to the judiciary – said the body had responded to 91% of complainants within five working days and had kept customers informed on a monthly basis in 82% of cases.
