Appointment of new Supreme Court justices
Three justices have been appointed to the Supreme Court this week. Lord Justice Hughes, vice-president of the Court of Appeal Criminal Division, will succeed Lord Dyson, and Lord Justice Toulson will succeed Lord Walker. Both judges will take up their new positions on 9 April. Lord Hodge, who sits in the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary, will succeed Lord Hope, one of the two Scottish justices, who will retire in June.
