When Mr Justice Chamberlain lifted the first super-injunction ever granted contra mundum (“against the world”) at 12 noon yesterday, news outlets published instant and highly detailed coverage. Many hundreds of journalists must have known about the data breach

So sad to hear this news. His knowledge of criminal law was second to none. A lovely kind, witty man & a great judge. He will be much missed in the CoA
Lord Justice William Davis, chair of the Sentencing Council, died suddenly at his home in Warwickshire on Saturday. He was 70.
A "great judge and a good man", Bill Davis brushed off the stresses and strains that would have kept others awake at night.
