The Tenure of Judges!
By Becky, Hannah & Jamie (:

2. Tenure of judges..
‘’he or she cannot be dismissed from office without good reason’’
In return, a judge is expected to conform to high standards of behaviour in his or her public and private life and to be completely unbiased in decision-making.

3. The Government cannot force a judge to resign if that judge makes a decision with which the Government of the day disagrees.
In the UK, judges are reasonably secure from political interference.
The right that secured judges originated in the Act of Settlement 1700 which allowed them to hold office while of good behaviour. The same provision is now contained in the Supreme Court Act 1981 for High Court Judges and Lord Justices of Appeal.
