Judicial retirement age to rise to 75
Judges, magistrates, and coroners will be allowed to continue to serve until they are 75, as the Lord Chancellor today confirmed plans to increase their mandatory retirement age.
From:
government determined to retain expertise of experienced judicial post holders
part of move to boost recruitment and attract wider range of applicants
The move, which will raise the retirement age for judicial office holders from 70, is the first change to these rules in 27 years. It seeks to address the fact that people now work later into their lives, with the government determined not to lose valued judges, magistrates and coroners. This will provide greater flexibility for those judges who do not wish to retire at 70.
