This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Disallow single judges to retain cases more than a year, & psychologically test.
If the judge gets it wrong they'll stick by their guns. Fresh eyes will prevent this. More than one judge would be ideal as we are giving a lot of responsibility to one person who will make mistakes. Many judges present as having covert personality disorders. Please test them.
More details
Every day we hear stories of shocking decisions made by single judges. A panel would better prevent very wrong harmful decisions being made on behalf of the child(ren). Many Judges make a decision about a parent in five minutes and base the case on little other than a feeling. A new Judge every twelve months would prevent childrens' entire childhoods being ruined by common attribution errors. Many judges simply cannot possess empathy. This is a sign of horrible cluster B personality disorders.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for all court cases to be overseen by at least two judges, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
