Call for evidence description
- In May 2025, the Lord Chancellor commissioned the Review Body on Senior Salaries (SSRB) to carry out a Major Review of the Judicial Salary Structure.
- Please note that this questionnaire has been designed to be answered by 3 types of respondent (organisations, individuals who are judges and individuals who are not judges). We encourage judges to respond as individuals rather than through Judicial Associations as we will be receiving evidence from the Judicial Associations through our formal written evidence process.
- SSRB Judicial Lead, Mark Emerton, provides more information on the Call for Evidence in this letter to the judiciary.
- If you would like to see the substantive questions in advance of completing the questionnaire, to support your response, please refer to this PDF version of the substantive questions.
