SSRB Correspondence on Major Review of Judicial Salary Structure
Summary
The Senior Salaries Review Body Judicial Sub-Committee published correspondence between May 2025 and March 2026 regarding the Major Review of the Judicial Salary Structure. Letters include responses to the Terms of Reference, updates on review progress, and a Call for Evidence issued to the UK judiciary on 14 November 2025. The documents provide formal correspondence between SSRB, the Lord Chancellor, and the UK judiciary but do not impose binding compliance obligations.
What changed
The Senior Salaries Review Body published a collection of correspondence letters documenting the Major Review of the Judicial Salary Structure. The documents include: a letter of 15 May 2025 responding to the Terms of Reference addressed to the Lord Chancellor; a letter of 15 May 2025 addressed to the UK judiciary; an update letter of 31 July 2025; a Call for Evidence letter of 14 November 2025; and an update letter of 3 March 2026.
The correspondence does not create new compliance obligations or regulatory requirements. Affected parties including the judiciary and Ministry of Justice should monitor for further developments as the review progresses. The Call for Evidence issued in November 2025 invited input from the judiciary on salary structure matters, but this remains an ongoing review process rather than a binding regulatory action.
