Consultation description
In the case of McCloud v MOJ, the Court of Appeal held that transitional protections provided to older judges as part of the 2015 judicial pension reforms constituted unlawful direct age discrimination. MOJ is committed to addressing the discrimination for all affected judges.
Following the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022, MOJ is now consulting on technical regulations to deliver aspects of the McCloud remedy.
