Judge reprimanded
Mr Justice Marcus Smith had expressed his love for a junior member of staff
A High Court judge has received a reprimand for serious misconduct after writing a love letter to a young woman member of staff. A reprimand is the most serious sanction short of removal from office. It was issued to Mr Justice Marcus Smith, a judge of the Chancery division since 2017 and president of the Competition Appeal Tribunal since 2021.
