Thanks Claire ..... Sir Henry will be missed for sure.
This is a lovely read if people have a few minutes ... valedictory address on Sir Henry’s retirement as a judge in 2006:
Let’s hope someone picks up on his argument on the illegality of MRs and runs with it.
Met him accidentally once (long story). Genuinely lovely man.
Never met him! But my impressions of him are that he came across as a unique decent bloke who really cared about social justice!
I agree with Mike really hope someone runs with the MR argument!
Sad news indeed. Only recently came across him - great written evidence to the select committee on PIP. Really useful stats and observations about MRs and the importance of the advice sector.
