LISTS OF JUDGES WHO ACCEPTED INVITATIONS
TO THE JUDGES’ SERVICES IN 2013, 2012, 2011
1. There follow lists of the judges who accepted invitations to attend the Judges’
Services at Westminster Abbey in October 2013, 2012 and 2011.
2. In response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, these lists were
disclosed in December 2013 by the Crown Office (part of the Ministry of Justice).
Normally the MoJ publishes on its website its monthly FoI log of its responses to such
requests, but it has not done so for these lists. So, they are being published here for the
first time. The MoJ has advised that lists of judges who actually attended these services
are not kept. These lists are therefore the closest approximation.
3. The MoJ has stated that invitations are issued:
each year to all Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court Judges;
on a three-year rota to Circuit Judges, Tribunal Judges, Masters and Registrars; and
annually to a proportion of District Judges and some other judges.
The lists for these three years thus cover those judges subject to that rota, except any
recently appointed who may not yet have received an invitation.
4. Invitations are issued jointly by the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord
Chancellor (a government minister) and the Dean of Westminster Abbey (a Church of
England clergyman). The Judges’ Services are held as religious services within the rites of
the Church of England, but are not open to the public. Judges participate in their official
capacities, wearing judicial robes, in working time, and at considerable public expense.
5. The publication of these lists enables any criminal defendant or civil party or their
representatives, where a religious issue is likely to be, or becomes, material in the case, to
see if the judge hearing that case has accepted an invitation to participate in such a service.
6. Thus consideration can be given to raising a legal argument that, if the judge did so
attend, his or her impartiality on the religious issue may have been compromised, or be
seen to have been compromised, on the basis of an actual or perceived personal interest.
Such an argument might apply in connection with a recusal application or when advancing
grounds for appeal.
7. These lists include some persons who are not UK judges. To assist, the heading of
each of the three lists supplied has been adumbrated and each page shows any continuation
of a sub-heading and the relevant year.
