A hundred judges and magistrates have received written threats connected to cases they presided over during the past five years, the Ministry of Justice has revealed. The admission that those on the bench are subject to such a high level of intimidation comes after a whistleblowing legal action launched by a district judge highlighting courtroom dangers. Claire Gilham’s claim before an employment tribunal includes details of a death threat she received while hearing family cases at Warrington county court. The influx of unrepresented litigants in person, who are no longer entitled to legal aid to pay for lawyers, has added to the difficulties family judges face in controlling emotive child custody hearings. Earlier this week Labour’s justice spokesman, Andy Slaughter, put down a written question seeking information on how many judges or magistrates received threatening correspondence relating to hearings they have presided over since 2011. Replying, Shailesh Vara, the justice minister responsible for courts and legal aid, pointed out that there are around 20,000 judges and magistrates in England and Wales. The annual figures show how many judges and magistrates in England and Wales reported receiving threatening correspondence: in 2011 - 20; in 2012 - 12; in 2013 - 19; in 2014 - 18; and in 2015 - 31. Last year’s leap in numbers may be an indication of a growing problem. Slaughter, the MP for Hammersmith, said he was “shocked” at the figures he uncovered, and insisted the lord chancellor had a duty to “ensure the safety of everyone who works in our courts”. At the end of last year, Slaughter obtained figures through another written question showing that nearly 7,000 knives had been confiscated at crown courts and magistrates courts in England and Wales during 2014/15. “This is breathtaking lawlessness which the government must tackle immediately in order to ensure the safety of court staff,” Slaughter said. In his responses, Vara said: “We have a robust security and safety system in place to protect all court users. Any threats to judges or magistrates are taken extremely seriously, and within Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service there is a security team to co-ordinate effective judicial security and incident investigation, working closely with senior judiciary and police agencies to provide the necessary support.”
