| Abstract | This paper considers the immunity in tort enjoyed by superior court judges in England and Wales. It suggests, first, that the current level of immunity is set too high; secondly, that the reasons traditionally given for this level of immunity are overwhelmingly unconvincing and that, therefore, thirdly, a lesser degree of immunity (which allows judges to be exposed to potential liability under a modified version of the tort of misfeasance in a public office) would be the preferable way to proceed. © 2012 The Author.
