The ordinary judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales are the Lord Justices of Appeal and Lady Justices of Appeal. These puisne judges serve with the ex officio members of the court:
Judges of the Court of Appeal are made members of the Privy Council within months of appointment, enabling them to serve as members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and entitling them to the style The Right Honourable. Because all members of the court are appointed to the Privy Council, that style is omitted, but new Lords and Lady Justice awaiting appointment to the Privy Council are noted.
The Senior Courts Act 1981 limits the total number of Lord Justices of Appeal and Lady Justices of Appeal to 38; the limit was amended, without changing the act's text, to 39 by The Maximum Number of Judges Order 2015. The Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 mandates that, along with other senior judges throughout the UK, they retire at 70 years of age. Judges appointed before 31 March 1995 are excepted and may wait to retire at 75.
These are the ex officio judges of the Court of Appeal excepting the qualifying justices of the Supreme Court (the judges appointed from England and Wales, including Lord Sumption); they are listed at Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom#Current Justices:
As of April 2017[update], following the mandatory retirements of Sir Christopher Clarke, Sir Patrick Elias, and Sir Christopher Pitchford all in March 2017, there are now 27 Lord Justices of Appeal and 9 Lady Justices of Appeal.
