07 December 2022
From 1 December, employment judges and judges of the Employment Appeal Tribunal are to be addressed as Judge, not Sir/Madam.
Announcing the change, the Lord Chief Justice and Senior President of Tribunals said: ‘The move away from “Sir or Madam” involves modern and simple terminology, reflecting the important judicial role whilst maintaining the necessary degree of respect. We also hope this change in language will assist litigants in person involved in court and tribunal proceedings.’
Non-legal members in the tribunal should continue to be addressed as Sir/Madam.
