But sometimes a couple or more candidates may seem to be appropriate. In these situations it is not entirely clear what selection criteria are applied. The mechanics of appointing a Lord of Appeal are very similar to those which apply when appointing members of the Court of Appeal. Thus the Prime Minister is presented with a list containing possible candidates for appointment, each of them ranked in order of preference with a brief explanation as to why they might be a desirable choice. Constitutional theory has it that the Prime Minister then decides who is to succeed.
In the time it has taken him to reach this position he will have shown himself to be a man of learning and a competent judge. However over the same The Lords of Appeal in Ordinary 39 period of time he will have grown rather old. Indeed while Appellate Committee members nowadays tend to be slightly younger than the average figures given above would indicate – in the 1990s Lords of Appeal in Ordinary have been about 61 years of age on their appointment to the Committee – the fact that they are already in their sixties and must retire at 70 (subject to a discretionary power on the part of the Lord Chancellor to retain their services thereafter until they reach the age of 75) means that Lords of Appeal, at least since the introduction of a mandatory retirement age in 1993, have a guaranteed lifespan of less than a decade.
And the main reason for this has been the death of a previous spouse. One Lord of Appeal, Lord Jauncey of Tullichettle, has been married three times. In 1948 at the age of 23 he married the daughter of an Admiral. ) In 1969 this marriage ended in divorce. In 1973 Lord Jauncey married the widow of a Major. In 1977 this marriage too ended in divorce. Later in the same year Lord Jauncey married his third and present wife, the daughter of a Lieutenant-Colonel. Lord Jauncey is one of four Lords of Appeal who got married for the first time at the age of 23, the youngest age at which any Lord of Appeal has got married.
