RE: Freedom of Information Request
Dear Mrs Tricker
Thank you for your e-mail of 19 June 2013, in which you asked for the following information from the Judicial Appointments and Conduct Ombudsman (JACO):
1. How many judges have been suspended for perverting the course of justice since the year 2000?
I am replying on behalf of JACO and your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
JACO does not hold the information you have requested about judges. I suggest you contact the Office for Judicial Complaints at the following address –
