Increasing number of Kiwis complaining about judges

New Zealanders are increasingly making complaints about judges, when they're unhappy with the decisions judges have made.

Almost 900 complaints have been made against judges over the past three years.

There is, however, a drop between this year's number and last.

Judicial conduct commissioner Alan Ritchie says some complaints are legitimate, and some aren't.

But he told Mike Hosking almost all complaints start off with someone being unhappy with a decision a judge has made.

"What they then go on to say is, 'They got it wrong because they were corrupt or biased', or whatever."
