Privacy expert joins High Court
The members of Five Raymond Buildings are proud to announce that Michael Tugendhat QC has been appointed to the High Court Bench. He will be assigned to the Queen’s Bench Division and will sit as a judge of the Jury List. His first day as a Judge will be on 1 May 2003.


Mr Justice Tugendhat was educated at Gonville & Caius College Cambridge before being awarded the Henry Fellowship at Yale University Law School. He was called to the Bar of Inner Temple in 1969 before joining these Chambers.
