In the last three weeks four magistrates have been disciplined by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office. As is always the pattern very few details are published. The whole disciplinary process is cloaked in secrecy. This involves proceedings more suited to the 1950s than 2018. Both from the point of the view of the public and the good name of those sanctioned there at least should be the opportunity for the latter to explain their position to a wider audience if so desired. The Law Society Gazette has a similar take on this subject in its article published at the weekend.
