List of judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales

The ordinary judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales are the Lord Justices of Appeal and Lady Justices of Appeal. These judges serve with the ex officio members of the court:

• Lord Chief Justice
• Master of the Rolls
• President of the King's Bench Division
• President of the Family Division
• Chancellor of the High Court
• Supreme Court judges appointed from the Court of Appeal or who were eligible to serve on it when appointed to the Supreme Court

Judges of the Court of Appeal are made members of the Privy Council within months of appointment, enabling them to serve as members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and entitling them to the style The Right Honourable.

The Senior Courts Act 1981 limited in principle the total number of Lord Justices of Appeal and Lady Justices of Appeal; it was raised by one to 39 by The Maximum Number of Judges Order 2015 (the Act allows for such Orders). The Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 mandated that, along with other senior judges throughout the UK, they retired at 70 years of age (save for judges appointed before 31 March 1995 who had to retire at 75). However, the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 amended the 1993 Act to restore the retirement age of 75 for all judges, whenever appointed.
