Overview
This bill proposes to raise the retirement age for magistrates in England and Wales from 70 to 75 years old. This change aims to retain experienced magistrates within the justice system.
Description

Specifically, it changes all instances of "70" to "75" within subsections 1, 2, and 3 of Section 13, which deals with the retirement age for magistrates. This means magistrates will be able to continue serving until age 75, rather than retiring at 70.
