Can the Office for Judicial Complaints help you?

The Office for Judicial Complaints(OJC) deals with complaints about the personal conduct of judges.  Examples of possible personal misconduct might be use of insulting, racist or sexist language in court, or inappropriate behaviour outside the court such as a judge using their judicial title for personal advantage or preferential treatment.

OJC cannot help you if you disagree with a judge’s decision or case management directions, or if you think a judge has made a legal error. If you are unhappy with this sort of decision you may be able to appeal.  See the section “If We Can't Help” for how to obtain advice from a solicitor, local law centre, Citizens Advice Bureau or the Community Legal Service.
