Judicial Conduct

The JCPC's guide to judicial conduct sets out the standards of ethical conduct to be expected of the Court.

The UKSC Guide to judicial conduct provides guidance to members of the Court, informs the Court users of the standards that they can reasonably expect, explains to the public how judges behave and should help to secure respect and support from the judiciary. 

The principles within this document are stated as six "values", by which the Court will operate:

  1. Judicial independence
  2. Impartiality
  3. Integrity
  4. Propriety
  5. Equality of treatment to all
  6. Competence and diligence
