“Judges hold one of the most respected and responsible positions in the land… By blaming these mistakes on an unknown colleague, Judge Kemp is ducking personal responsibility while undermining trust in the legal system. Claimants are seeking justice, not watching a game show. They do not expect judges to phone a friend. As the tribunal president, Judge Walker should not accept this as a satisfactory explanation. A proper review should be undertaken with names and facts reported in full to the public.”
