Dear A Wilson,

Re: Freedom of Information Request

Thank you for your email of 3rd October 2009, in which you asked for the following information from the Ministry of Justice:

The Judicial Bonds Numbers would attach to each member of staff in order to insurance against any injury or tort they may cause to men & women, whilst operating within the judicial system.

These should be freely available to the public along with a request form, please also supply the form.

'I am still unclear as to what you mean by Judicial Bonds, however I assume you may be referring to some kind of insurance against claims made arising from an individual's performance of their judicial functions. The Department, in line with other Government Departments, does not purchase insurance cover but 'self insures', funding actions from its own resources where it deems it necessary.'  

I am sorry I have not been able to be of more assistance.

As part of our obligations under the FOIA, the Ministry of Justice has an independent review process. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may write to request an internal review. The internal review will be carried out by someone who did not make the original decision, and they will re-assess how the Department handled the original request.

If you wish to request an internal review, please write or send an email to the Data Access and Compliance Unit within two months of the date of this letter, at the following address:
