	Alfred Denning, Baron Denning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Right Honourable Alfred Thompson Denning, Baron Denning, OM, PC (23 January 1899 – 5 March 1999) was a British barrister from Hampshire who became Master of the Rolls (the senior civil judge in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales) and was generally well liked, both within the legal profession and outside it.
		Denning spent twenty years as the Master of the Rolls, presiding over the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal, after five years as a Law Lord, shifting to the Court of Appeal at his request because he was happier with that post than a post in the more senior court.
		Many of Denning's efforts to change the law were vindicated by the passage of time (and legislation) — in particular, his efforts to establish an abandoned wives' equity, small print exemption clauses, inequality of bargaining power, negligent mis-statement, liability of public authorities, and contractual interpretation.

	Lord Denning
		Alfred Thompson Denning, Baron Denning of Whitchurch (23 January, 1899–6 March, 1999) was a British barrister from Hampshire who became Master of the Rolls (the senior judge in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales) and was generally well liked, both within the legal profession and outside it.
		Denning spent twenty years as the Master of the Rolls, presiding over the Court of Appeal, after five years as a Law Lord, shifting to the Court of Appeal at his request because he was happier with that post than a post in the more senior court.
		Denning was too frail to attend his own 100th birthday party: at the event, Law Society President Michael Matthews said, "He was a towering figure in the law who made an enormous contribution to the law of this century, probably the major contribution".

	O'Grady: Lord Denning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Denning also used the general language of the Married Women's Property Act 1882 to decide several cases in which the issue was whether a wife, who had contributed to the purchase of a house but did not have legal title, should be considered to have a beneficial interest in it, and in what proportion.
		Denning's approach to this subject was considerably influenced, of course, by the 1944 Rule of Practice of the Court of Appeal, subsequently confirmed by the House of Lords, that the Court of Appeal was to consider itself strictly bound by its previous decisions in similar cases.
		After Denning's death, Professor Smith noted that he had been lectured when a student on Denning's controversial 1947 decision, and that in 1999 it was still being taught to students and relied upon in court, as a decision which had pushed the boundaries of contract law into the now-established area of promissory estoppel.

		In many cases between 1962 and 1982 Denning found opportunities to apply his beliefs in the rights of the individual in beleaguered circumstances, most notably those of deserted wives, victims of unfair contracts, and those caught up in administrative bureaucracy.
		His stand upon these issues endeared Denning to the public, although his rejection of precedent in favour of the pursuit of justice made him a controversial figure within the profession.
		In his retirement Denning startled his admirers by saying that the Birmingham Six and Guildford Four were probably guilty and should have been hanged, despite their release by the court of appeal in 1991, after years of wrongful imprisonment for IRA bombings.

		Denning quickly shined in the legal profession and was called to the bar in 1923; "took silk" - became a King's Counsel - at 40, a high court judge five years later, and, in 1948, was appointed Lord Justice of Appeal.
		Lord Denning more or less invented the doctrine that a deserted wife was entitled to share her husband's property.
		Lord Denning is now well into the twilight of his life, but he is assured that his legacy of law will endure for many years.

	Eastern Book Company - Practical Lawyer
		Often innovative, occasionally controversial and undoubtedly a great Judge of the twentieth century, Lord Alfred Thompson Denning, popularly known as "Tom Denning" was born on 23-1-1899 at Whitchurch in Hampshire.
		[2] Though the House of Lords did not approve of the view of Lord Denning and described it as "a naked usurpation of the legislative function",[3] it cannot be gainsaid that in interpreting a statute, a Judge should not be oblivious and ignorant of justice.
		In High Trees[15], Lord Denning held that the doctrine of estoppel need not be inhibited by narrow application as defence and it was open to the applicant to invoke the doctrine of equitable estoppel to get appropriate relief from a competent court.

	The Law's Hall of Fame
		Alfred was taught Latin (he visited Rome in 853 and 855) and implemented a number of important legal reforms which were later emulated in other parts of England.
		Alfred also tried to stop the old ritual of blood feuds, endless cycles of vengeance between clans or persons.
		Alfred introduced the notion that all crimes were an offence against the King himself, a tradition that continues today as crimes are prosecuted not by private citizens but by the government.

	THE MOST JUST JUDGES
		The England of Lord Denning, was not the England of Queen Victoria.
		The fact that the sympathies of Lord Denning were with the underdogs, did not mean that he should be blind to the abuses of union law by some unions, or to the abuses of the immigration laws, by some immigrants.
		Critics who quibble that Lord Denning ought not to have found fault with the underdogs, with whom he sympathised, or that he ought not to have reformed certain aspects of certain laws, because the main law had not been either amended or repealed, deserve from us, no censure.

	A century rolls by for Lord Denning
		Lord Denning, who retired from the bench as Master of the Rolls in 1982 after 38 years as a judge in the High Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords, is being protected from a host of requests from journalists for interviews and "photocalls".
		In a birthday tribute to Lord Denning today, Dan Brennan, QC, the Bar Council's chairman, said his "singular gift to English law" was his "ability to view the law as a means to an end, never unnecessarily allowing precedent or legal technicality to obscure what he believes to be the interests of justice".
		He was a "truly great judge who upheld the rule of law" and the Bar wished to acknowledge the breadth of his contribution to the changes of the last 100 years, Mr Brennan said.
