If a magistrate is on the supplemental list they can use the suffix until death but if they are not on the supplemental list they should not use the suffix at all.

For the same sad reason people still call themselves "Major" or whatever 30 years after they left the army.

Surely the major would use Major Bloggs, Rtd
Curious question. Surely, as a JP, she ought to have decent enough contacts to address the question to without going into a public forum. Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye.
