Catherine Nicholes is a barrister of England and Wales. Ms Nicholes is also a Deputy District Judge. She is known as DDJ Nicholes, Deputy District Judge Nicholes, DDJ Catherine Nicholes or DDJ Cathy Nicholes and should be addressed as “judge or madam” in court.
As a Deputy District Judge, Catherine Nicholes is paid £623.74 a day according to the Judicial Fees 2024 to 2025.
Catherine Nicholes was called by Inner Temple as a Barrister in May 1977.
Ms Catherine Margaret Elizabeth Nicholes is listed on the register of the Bar Standards Board.
I would think twice about employing Catherine Nicholes as a barrister.
If you are unfortunate enough to be allocated DDJ Nicholes in court, then I would suggest you ask her to recuse herself.
You should ask her about the “secret emails” between her and the dodgy barrister Eleanor Battie.
“You are clearly not disabled” and “if you were disabled the court would have known about it.”
It is widely accepted that not all disabilities are visible. Depression and mental health issues can be considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010.
Deputy District Judge Nicholes is, in my humble opinion, dangerous, discriminatory, outdated and offensive.
This old dinosaur should be put out to pasture.

Catherine originally practised in crime, general civil and family law. She was delighted to join a chambers which pioneered and specialised in care proceedings long before that area became popular at the Bar. Her practice in care proceedings was originally very much in representing the parents, wider family, or the child both with and without a guardian. She continues to specialise in such work and has particular expertise in representing clients who have personality difficulties, mental health issues or are accused of very serious abuse.

Ms Nicholes, I am told, is not keen on the public having her judicial email address, but its publication is not illegal. Many judges including High Court Judges freely publish their email address on the Internet. For example :-
