Is there an individual or collective aspect to judicial independence?

23. There is, therefore, both an individual and a collective or institutional aspect to judicial independence. As stated by Le Dain J. in Valente v. The Queen, 1985 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1985] 2 S.C.R. 673, at pp. 685 and 687: [Judicial independence] connotes not merely a state of mind or attitude in the actual exercise of judicial functions, but a status or relationship to others, particularly to the executive branch of government, that rests on objective conditions or guarantees. ... It is generally agreed that judicial independence involves both individual and institutional relationships: the individual independence of a judge, as reflected in such matters as security of tenure, and the institutional independence of the court or tribunal over which he or she presides, as reflected in its institutional or administrative relationships to the executive and legislative branches of government.
