JCIO 45/22
Date: 01 April 2022
A spokesperson for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said:
The Lord Chief Justice, with the Lord Chancellor’s agreement, has issued Deputy District Judge Michael Swindley with a formal warning for misconduct. Following a complaint by a litigant, the judge was found to have made comments to a solicitor representing the opposing party that undermined the litigant’s confidence in the judge’s impartiality.
Media queries in relation to the JCIO should be made in the first instance to the Judicial Press Office - telephone 020 7073 4852 or via email - press.enquiries@judiciary.gsi.gov.uk
