Merger with Lord Justice of Appeal[edit]

Support merging into Lord Justice of Appeal. The singular is preferable. -- Necrothesp 14:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of second reference to Privy Council Appointment[edit]

Nothing served by the repetition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.226.123 (talk) 16:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plural of Lord Justice[edit]

Changed "Lord Justices" to "Lords Justices". I'm not sure if "Lords Justice" is also acceptable but "Lord Justices" is definitely wrong.

Example

"The common-law Court of Appeal merged at this time with the Court of Appeal in Chancery, acquiring full-time lords justices of appeal."

- Baker, J. H. (2002). An Introduction To English Legal History. Butterworths LexisNexis, 4th Ed. Pg 142.

Raises an issue about capitalisation. But my pedantry is exhausted.

"Lords Justices" is, in my experience, the only correct version. 137.222.231.37 (talk) 19:56, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title needs to include female judges[edit]

I've just made a comment over at Talk:List of Lords Justices of Appeal, pointing out that there have been female judges of the Court of Appeal since 1988, and their official title (at least since 2003) is "Lady Justice of Appeal". I'd also suggest moving this article to something more inclusive, such as Judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Perhaps best for others to comment here, and the list can conform with the result. Ferma (talk) 11:25, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and the official approach seems to be to use gender-neutral language wherever possible too: for example [1]. I would prefer a less cumbersome title if possible, though: how about Court of Appeal judge (England and Wales)?

I also agree that the list should be updated correspondingly (and also the category?) Wham2001 (talk) 20:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Court of Appeal judge (England and Wales) sounds about right. I guess we should wait to see if any other opinions emerge - perhaps give seven days from my comments above and implement this on say 1 March if there are no objections before then?

Category:Lords Justices of Appeal? Yes. It is particularly inappropriate to have the Lady Justices of Appeal in that category, but I wonder if a better solution might be to split them out into Category:Lady Justices of Appeal and have both as subsets of Category:Court of Appeal judges (England and Wales).

Here is a list: (updated 10:23, 31 December 2019 (UTC))

Elizabeth Butler-Sloss - 1988 to 2005, retired
Brenda Hale - 1999 to 2003, promoted to House of Lords
Mary Arden, 2000 to 2018, promoted to the Supreme Court
Janet Smith, 2002 to 2011, retired
Heather Hallett, 2005 to 2019, retired
Jill Black, 2010 to 2017, promoted to the Supreme Court
Anne Rafferty, 2011 (to retire in 2020)
Elizabeth Gloster, 2013 to 2018, retired
Julia Macur, 2013
Victoria Sharp, 2013 to 2019, promoted to President of the Queen's Bench Division
Eleanor King, 2014
Kathryn Thirlwall, 2017
Sarah Asplin, 2017
Nicola Davies, 2018
Vivien Rose, 2019
Ingrid Simler, 2019
Sarah Carr, (expected 2020)

Perhaps that list should be in an article somewhere. Ferma (talk) 19:37, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I moved it as discussed above. And I've also moved the list but it seemed to work better as List of judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Could not see the benefit in adding in brackets.

We have a Category:Judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales too, so I'll create Category:Lady Justices of Appeal. Ferma (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Justice of Appeal (England and Wales)[edit]

As the proper name for the post is above, I would prefer the article be named that and place a redirect on this page to that. This matches Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom as opposed to Judges of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Solipsism 101 (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
