It is startling that District Judge Wright, sitting at Brighton County Court (The Argus, September 13) “refused to give her first name”.

The custom is for district judges to be known as District Judge... followed by their surname.

However, where more than one district judge shares the same surname, their first name is also used as part of their nomenclature in order that one judge may be told apart from another.

In this case, www.judiciary.

gov.uk lists two district judges with the surname Wright, both female and both sitting on the South Eastern circuit: District Judge Barbara Wright and District Judge Jane Wright.

The refusal of this judge – who made a judgment in the case of Mr Sunil Broota’s housing issue in your story – to identify herself runs contrary to recognised procedure and is not in the interests of open justice.

Whichever Wright is responsible for this decision is wrong to keep the public in the dark as to her identity.
