Sir James Munby

Sir James Munby is a prominent former judge in England, known for serving as the head of the High Court's family division from 2013 to 2018. He has gained a reputation for his advocacy of transparency and reform within the legal system. Following recent revelations about an IT bug within HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) that may have led to the loss of critical evidence, Munby described the situation as 'shocking' and 'a scandal.'
