A High Court judge, who is stepping down after being rebuked for campaigning in favour of marriage, claimed yesterday to have strong backing within the judiciary.
Sir Paul Coleridge said only ‘one or two’ of his colleagues were opposed to his traditional views.
He spoke out after being given a formal warning by Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas and Justice Secretary Chris Grayling for judicial misconduct.
An inquiry by the Office for Judicial Complaints, the body that polices the behaviour of judges, had found his speeches and newspaper articles were ‘incompatible with his judicial responsibilities’.
Last December the office advised Sir Paul to take a lower profile after he had protested about the devastating impact of family break-up on children, criticised cohabitation, and called for greater support for marriage.
Sir Paul, who handles family cases as Mr Justice Coleridge, could have served for another five years and was effectively forced out.
He said: ‘I would like to refute the erroneous suggestion that my fellow judges are opposed to what I have been doing. With one or two exceptions they have been very, if quietly, supportive.’
Sir Paul said he was a whistleblower who needed to speak out against the collapse of family life.
He confirmed his decision to step down as a judge in April – a resignation announced earlier this year – was linked to his public attempt to speak up for marriage.
