What complaints we look into
The Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC) will look into any complaint about the personal conduct of a judge, member of small tribunal or coroner.
Examples of personal misconduct would be the use of insulting, racist or sexist language.
The OJC cannot deal with any complaints about a judge's decision or about how he or she has handled a case.
The Judicial Discipline Regulations (Prescribed Procedures) 2006 (SI 2006/676) contain details of complaints which the OJC is not able to consider.
