Lord Justice Peter Gross of United Kingdom, greedy loser

 

The Law Society presented Peter Gross with a law license in 1977 after he graduated from

 

Former Lord Chancellor Kenneth Clarke was duped into appointer Peter as Lord Justice of Appeal in 2010. Peter didn’t receive the appointment because he was the most qualified jurist in England or Wales. He received it because he had proven to be a reliable lackey for England’s political hacks.

 

In one matter, Peter had the chutzpah to claim that the judiciary in the United Kingdom needs a pay raise. In support of his demands for a pay raise, Peter made the following laughable statements.

  • "No one goes into the Judiciary to make money.”
  • “But there comes a point when pay is so far out of line with the private sector market that it endangers recruitment – of the very best – and retention.”
  • “There is a danger in relying unduly on goodwill.”

In a lame effort at levity, Peter went on to say.

  • "More than the money, there is the perception that these issues reflect government not valuing the Judiciary – and even Judges do take note, as recent surveys of judicial morale have so clearly shown."
  • "If we do not address pay and pensions, over time the quality of our judiciary will decline," he added.
  • "Any failure to address the problems of pay and pensions will have a serious impact on morale and on recruitment.” (House of Lords report)

In its laughable report, The House of Lords stated in part:

 

“That due to public sector pay restrictions, the growing disparity between public and private-sector jobs will unlikely increase judicial pay in a way the significantly reduces this difference.”

 

The average income of a solicitor with 4 to 8 years of experience is 120,000 GDP ($141,275 US). By contrast, Peter earns in excess of 200,000 GDP ($235,459).

 

To suggest that solicitors aren’t looking to being appointed to the judiciary doesn’t pass the involuntary laugh test. In truth, a judicial position such as Peter’s pays more than $100,000 in wages and benefits then that of a private practitioner.

 

As we speak (ca. September 2018), Greedy Peter continues to sit as Lord Justice of Appeal in London, England.
