LNB news: MoJ is to raise MRA to 75 for judicial office holders following consultation

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has published the response to a consultation it held on raising the mandatory retirement age (MRA) for judicial office holders

Lexis®Library update: The general consensus was that the age should be raised from 70, however differing views on whether 72 or 75, would be preferable. The MoJ has taken the decision to raise the age to 75 and will seek parliamentary approval as soon as possible.
