1.INTRODUCTION:
The constitutional changes reflected in the constitutional
reform act 2005(“CRA”), in particular the displacement of the lord
chancellor as the head of the judiciary and the creation of a supreme
court, led to new interest in the judiciary as an institution and in the
issue of the accountability of judges and the judiciary.
Both individual judges and the judiciary as a branch of the state are
subject to anumber of forms of accountability which are not
incompatible with their individual and institutional
independence.these are,however, not always understood: nor are the
necessary limits to judicial accountability required to product that
individual and institutional independence.
The forms of accountability and their limits are discussed below. The
limits result from the acknowledgement need in a democracy for an
independent and impartial judiciary which is free from improper
influence.
The basic code of ethics is the principle that no man can be judge in
his own cause , it means that a judge should not adjudicate those
cases in which he has any kind of interest. A judge should follow the
motto of “ Fiat justicia ,ruat caelum” that is “let justice be done
though the heavens fall”.
