The new Judiciary of England and Wales website [1] seems to have removed this "official"/"informal" distinction. I remember reading recently (though I'm afraid I can't remember where) something to the effect of "until recently, female Lords Justices of Appeal were officially styled "Lord Justice X"", because that was the form used in the Act of Parliament creating the position, but it seems now to have changed.
