I am a QC and member of 23 Essex Street Chambers, London, and an associate member of Trinity Chambers, Newcastle. Past Chair of the Criminal Bar Association of England & Wales, 2016-2017. I practise criminal law. Please do not look for legal advice in this blog as you won’t find any. The views expressed here are entirely personal.
I am sorry. If you think Denning is remembered only for his Edwardian views and mannered prose, you are legally illiterate. Perhaps you are good with juries. Shakespeare and Newton had reactionary views by modern lights as well. It hardly undermines their brilliance. Denning was an intellectual giant. His judgements on estoppel and negligence will be studied long after all other post war MRs are forgotten, Bingham included.
