  Making judges accountable
  

As a first step to making judges’ performances accountable, a Judges [Inquiry] Bill 2006 is being prepared for consideration by parliament. If passed, a Judicial Council will come into being, to which complaints regarding a judge’s integrity and diligence can be addressed, without attracting contempt provisions. The move follows a recommendation by the Law Commission.

The Bill covers only judges of upper courts. Presumably, they would in turn sharpen their vigil on lower courts where most irregularities and delays occur.
