Very strange comment from someone calling themselves 'Marshall Hall'.
Anybody can make a mistake and it is not gross misconduct that you do. That is how we all improve. It only becomes a sacking matter if one refuses to learn from the experience. And judges are largely protected from being sacked save for gross misconduct for the sound constitutional reason that the government of the day cannot get rid of judges who find against it and replace them with those who will find for them no matter what.
Having said that being savaged by the CA like this is not a career-enhancing move and I think we can take it that we will not be seeing Mostyn J promoted any time soon. More likely he will be shunted off around the country on circuit doing murder and other trials that require a 'red judge'.

Judges are largely protected
