Call For Elizabeth
Barristers aren’t supposed to have favourite judges, but if C had one, it would have probably been Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss. C first met her at a dinner around the time the judge was chairing the Cleveland Child Abuse Enquiry and I can remember her coming home and saying she had rarely met such an impressive person. I think later C went on to appear before her several times. I can remember C saying in 2006, that it was the right appointment for Dame Elizabeth to be appointed to do the inquest into the death of Diana, the Princess of Wales.
So now at the age of nearly 81, she has been appointed chairman of the forthcoming large-scale inquiry into cases of child sex abuse in previous decades.
C would have approved!
