* After 28 years as a judge, Lord Bingham of Cornhill has sat on his
last case — an appeal by a Lebanese woman asylum-seeker against deportation (Lebanese
woman appeals deportation order to keep her son). Jack Straw, the
Justice Secretary, this week kicked off what will no doubt be a long round
of parties with a reception at Lancaster House for the retiring senior law
lord. Next week the law lords, Privy Council and judicial office staff will
host their own do. Lawyers and judges fall over themselves with superlatives
for Bingham, who will clearly be sorely missed. He has been an “outstanding”
law lord, “the judge of his generation”, etc, etc. Brendan Keith, head of
the judicial office, said: “We’ve very much enjoyed working with him and
will greatly miss him.”
