Lay magistrates can be removed from their position through a process initiated by the Lord Chancellor. This can occur if a magistrate is deemed unfit to serve due to reasons such as misconduct, incompetence, or inadequate attendance. The removal requires a formal investigation, and in some cases, a recommendation from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office may be involved. Ultimately, the decision is made by the Lord Chancellor, who has the authority to dismiss a lay magistrate from their duties.
