The Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC) today published it's first annual report. In response, the Lord Chief Justice has issued the following statement:

“I take complaints about the judiciary very seriously, and consider it important to maintain public confidence by ensuring such complaints are dealt with by an independent body. I am pleased to note that the number of complaints dealt with, and upheld, is very low and that across the judicial spectrum the percentage of Judicial Office Holders subject to disciplinary action is below 0.1%.”
