No judge or magistrate in England and Wales uses a gavel in court - ever!
That's the Americans, you see.

Well done FL.

Very impressive for sure. I hope you can retain your clarity of thought, expression and overall sanity in your new role.

All the best.

Well Done
 

Many Congratualtions Tudor,
All the Best,
CRAN
:ok:

Look at them all, kissing up to hizzoner! Just in case, I suppose.

Case - geddit? Oh, never mind.


And spare a thought for how lonely poor bjcc is going to be now.



Seriously, though - Congratulations, FL!

:ok:

Nice one Tudor - many congratulations :ok:

Cheers

Congratulations, Tudor :ok:

Well done, HH Judge Owen I look forward to reading your judgments. :ok:

Rat 5,

You raise a good and valid point, but FL has been known to - and his achievements much admired by - the PPRuNe community for some years now.

Heartiest congratulations, Tudor.
How choice to have a man of conviction (!) and common sense on the Bench.
Very well deserved.

......................but what do we half-wits do now if we need a hand ?
As suggested, new callsign ? :ok:

Tudor, very many congratulations on your well earned appointment.

We really are honoured to have you amongst the Rotorheads community

I know that you will keep your keen humour and sense of fair play when you are Sitting. Just go easy on the barristers!

Snaresbrook is, I believe, the largest court complex in the country, dealing with everything from naughty little toerags to some of the most dangerous people in the country. I've done jury service there three times and thoroughly enjoyed the two or three week escape from work on each occasion. I reckon I'm about due for another summons and will certainly make an effort to see our old friend ensconced on the bench.

Tudor

Congratulations on your appointment.

Congratulations Tudor, well done.

Are you still able to do defence work as well?
(Hopefully never need your services though!)

Who's going to keep the Campaign Against Aviation honest now?

A Magistrate writes about His Honour's appointment:

As we wander through life, we sometimes run into a person that makes the trip a bit more enjoyable. Our man FL is just one of those rare folks that stand out amongst the crowd. I consider it an honour to have been allowed to know him and have the distinct pleasure to have shared a cockpit with him.....my last helicopter flight actually.

All the best in his new endeavour...."it's your Honor" now.:D:D

I've never been part of a discussion that you have sir, but every post I've seen of yours I've regarded somewhere between respect and awe.

Cap doffed.

Lemming-like, I hasten to add my congratulations to all of those above. Every now and again the Establishment does something of which all right-thinking citizens can heartily approve!

I only met you once and sat enthralled by your gentle lecture that expanded our understanding of the Law and the CAA......

Best Wishes, Your Honour. I fear that the nom-de-plume Flying Lawyer will not grace this forum again and I understand why this might be so, but we will be the poorer for it, and I thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with us.

Soft Landings!

Ripline

Congratulations Flying Lawyer
 

Great news, but now that he is a fully fledged Judge he will be subject to the scrutiny of the press and the public gaze; and the heavy duties and responsibilites of his new job mean that sadly for us we will no longer have the benefit of his eloquent and learned posts here in JB.

You'll be missed around here, Tudor. Well done again and best of luck in your new appointment. :ok:

Pfft!

Already we're all mere mortals - hasn't even bothered to acknowledge this thread, has the new Judge. Looking down on us all, he is!
