<p>The numbers of magistrates who resigned between 1 February and 20 May this year
and each of the two preceding years are shown below:</p><p> </p><p>2016: 223</p><p>2015:
360</p><p>2014: 305</p><p> </p><p>The Judicial Office is notified of resignations,
and processes them, on a rolling basis. The figure for 2016 does not, therefore, include
any resignations which have been received locally by bench chairmen or advisory committees,
but not yet communicated to the Judicial Office. That information could only be obtained
at disproportionate cost.</p>
