The Heinz Library and Archive of the National Portrait Gallery has some very interesting items related to HM judiciary. Here for your delight is a very youthful Mr Justice Denning (as he then was): 1/3
...to help introduce the students to corporate insolvency. Some years previously Professor Fletcher had introduced the 2000/2001 LLM cohort at UCL to corporate insolvency by recommending Sir Roy's book (below), over his own. That was the book that hooked! Massive influence and inspiration. RIP.
RIP Sir Roy Goode. V sad news. At an SLS Sir Roy and Sir Phillip Bailhache were both in the audience for my Jersey bankruptcy paper. Sir Roy had drafted the relevant law. The nerves! Super kind questions. At Liverpool we use his "Is the law too favourable to secured creditors?" paper every year..1/2

If you can no longer engage in the #patronagebargain because you have stepped away from #patronages do you need alternative public methods to demonstrate impact? If not why not stay anonymous as a donor? #charities #publicbenefit 1/2
