Master Roger Thorn
It is with much regret that we report the death of our Middle Temple Bencher, HH Roger Thorn KC, who passed away on Monday 15 January 2024 at the age of 75 years.
The family have informed us that there will be a private funeral and a memorial service in the future.
We will circulate more information once the notification is received.
Sir Christopher Ghika KCVO CBE
Under Treasurer
In his Treasurer's Lecture, Professor Sir John Baker will focus on the Elizabethan Middle Temple and the Rule of Law. High among the profession's achievements during the period of the Hall's construction was the establishment of public law as we know it. The familiar landmarks in the history of public law are parliamentary – the Petition of Right 1628, the Habeas Corpus Act 1679 and the Bill of Rights 1689. Important as legislative statements and amplifications, they were predicated on an older common law.
Tickets are now fully sold out for the Thanksgiving Service for the Right Honourable The Lord Judge of Draycote.
