In 1994, he was appointed a Justice of the High Court, assigned to the Chancery Division, and became a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn. He was appointed a Judge of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2002, a Judge of the Competition Appeal Tribunal in 2005 and a Lord Justice of Appeal in 2007. He retired as a Lord Justice in October 2014.
Sir Colin shared some memories of his time at the College and some thoughts on aspects of the law and its practice over the last 45 years. The event was well attended by OAs and other members of the firm.
