DISCUSSION TOPIC THREE: LORD DENNING
Lord Denning was perhaps the greatest law-making judge of the century and the most controversial.
His achievement was to shape the common law according to his own highly individual vision of society.
Lord Denning's prejudices demonstrated the risks of letting one man dispense justice.
But they should not detract from a judicial career unique in our time.
Tom Denning stood firm for freedom under the law, a phrase he coined.
His whole life was devoted to justice. His creativity was immense and his legacy will last for as long as the law itself.
