§ 27. Vera BairdTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs if he will make a statement on the number of successful appeals made against individual judges. [147123]
§ Mr. LeslieJudicial decisions are not a matter in which the Government should become involved, and the Department for Constitutional Affairs does not routinely monitor the outcome of appeals in relation to decisions made by particular judges. The fact that an appeal has been successful does not in itself entail any criticism of the original judge.
