	Tom Denning, Baron Denning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfred Thompson Denning, Baron Denning, OM, PC (23 January 1899 – 5 March 1999) was an English jurist, judge and barrister from Hampshire, who became a Law Lord and Master of the Rolls (the senior civil judge in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales).
		Lord Denning was a judge for 38 years before retiring at the age of 83 in 1982.
		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 one in the more senior court.

		[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.
		Lord Denning was a champion of personal liberty and individual freedom, but not at the cost of interest of society at large.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| A benchmark of British justice
		The death of Lord Denning, at the age of 100, marks the passing of one - perhaps the last - of a sparse succession of major judicial figures who have succeeded in shaping areas of the law into conformity with a strongly-held world view.
		Denning went on for four decades to mould law to his perceptions of private and public morality, rarely hesitating to torture precedent until it yielded the desired result.
		The emergence of just this as the dominant mode of the political state during Denning's later years is perhaps an index of his prescience and a confirmation of his status, not merely as a judge, but as a historic figure of enduring importance.

		Lord Denning publicly apologised and said he abhorred the idea that anyone was a second-class citizen.
		Denning concluded that national security had not been compromised, but he faulted Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, saying he and his colleagues failed in their duty to dig out the truth after rumours circulated about Profumo.
		Lord Denning's last case had to do with cabbage seeds, and the judgement was typical of his style: short, crisp sentences in a language accessible to lay people.

		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.

		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".

		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.
