We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to change the law that forces magistrates to retire at 70. More details
Submitted by Richard Ellison JP – Deadline to sign up by: 13 March 2008 – Signatures: 102
More details from petition creator
The current law forces magistrates to retire at 70, irrespective of their abililty. The only factor taken into consideration is their age. In light of the new age regulations on age discrimination, this anomaly should now be removed.
