His Honour Judge Flying Lawyer
From todays Times our very own Flying Lawyer has been elevated to the ranks of the judiciary.
JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT HM The Queen has appointed Tudor Wyn Owen to be a Circuit Judge on the advice of the Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chief Justice has assigned him to the South Eastern Circuit, based in Snaresbrook Crown Court London with effect from Monday 29 October 2007. His Honour Judge Owen is 56. He was called to the Bar in 1974. He was appointed as a Recorder on the South Eastern Circuit in 1991. Many deserved congratulations Tudor :ok: |
Congratulations! Great news!
|
Just remember then Your Honour , should I ever appear before you as a profesional witness , I always agreed with you and think your sterling fella ,
Congrats |
Well Done Mi Lord........
At last someone with a sense of reality! I'll bet the CAA are pleased until they end up up in front of you! |
Well, very many congratulations to you!
|
Well done indeed! Congratulations!
:) |
Very well done and congratulations! :ok:
|
Congratulations Tudor! I'm thrilled for you! :D :ok:
Cheers Whirls |
Wait a minute!
Could be bad news if he is no longer permitted to plead. Don't know and lawyer nephew is out. Nevertheless, Hearty congratulations. :ok: |
Nice one. Well done! There'll be a vacancy for a tipstaff now!
|
If it may please the court.......
What a delicious scenario...
You, up before His Honour accused by CAA Plod of low flying, say your Hawker Hunter, over I dunno - the Isle of Black. CAA put their case, towit you were seen proceeding in a westerley direction a tad lower than usual. Your defence. Afternoon Tudor, Good flight wasn't it? Case dismissed! Costs? Er about £48,000. Agreed:ok: Oh if only......... Sir George C |
Many congratulations Me Lud. :ok::D

Our very own Judge John Deed :ok:

Congratulations, Flying Lawyer!!
Heartiest congratulations to Tudor Owen, the well-known PPRuNe 'Flying Lawyer':
(Taken a few years ago when we flew Chipmunks together at the University of London Air Squadron) 'Flying Lawyer' is to get some circuit time in - as the 'Flying Judge'! Congratulations, Tudor. Your terrific contribution to the good of aviation and the well-being of aviators in trouble is well-known and much appreciated - all the best for your new responsibilities. Sorry I can't make it to your celebration shindig - but have a great time. |
Congratulations FL! :ok:
|
Well done, Your Aviating Honour.
Life will be different for Tudor from now on, as he will have to take the judges' vows of silence. It can sometimes be a bit lonely on the Bench, apart from working with brother judges, because everything he says and does will be subject to scrutiny by the Press in particular. The CAA will probably be glad to be rid of a thorn in their side though, because he habitually made mincemeat of their prosecutions. I shall resist the temptation to say anything about motoring offences, since he will only see a few of the very worst, other than on appeal from the lower court. Good luck HHJ Tudor Wyn Owen, and I wish you well in dispensing justice to the rough folk who live in and around Snaresbrook. |
Does a PPRuNe membership give you a discount?
I am only joking. I realize Tudor is Incorruptible. |
All shades and classes contribute to Ppprune - could there be more eloquent proof? - I do trust this won't mean less of the erudite contributions!
|
Many congratulations, Your Honour. ;) I'm sure you will make an excellent Circuit Judge.
I wish you well in dispensing justice to the rough folk who live in and around Snaresbrook. And that's just the Barristers. |
Congrat's. You'll fit in well with all the other judges in La Jolla.

His Honour Judge Flying Lawyer
Rotorheads veteran and scourge of the CAA Enforcement Branch, Flying Lawyer is now a Judge!
Well done Tudor More info here http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=295673 |
Tounge in cheek, and not wishing to put a dampener on matters, but have not many others been castigated for identifyling aliases, or was this one well known hitherto?
Well known hitherto. PPRuNe Admin |
Tudor, Many, Many Congratulations,
I'm sure there will be those within the CAA legal department also celebrating your elevation to the Bench, although a few of them, just possibly, for slightly different reasons! Anyway, I'm delighted for you, and I hope you find your new position both interesting and fulfilling. Best Wishes, Your Honour, Bellerophon. |
Don't you just love it when something sensible happens!
Sincere congratulations Tudor John |
Yes - Congratulations. It presumably means an end to the many learned posts we have had the pleasure of reading and which have improved our legal knowledge so much over the years. It would be nice to think that a new poster may appear with a similar grip of legal matters and whose real identity will remain totally confidential - purely to discuss aviation matters of course........ I'll say no more!
P.P. |
I take it, a circuit judge can only deal with air law things happening within the traffic circuit of EGXY aerodrome, right? :E
Anyway, big congratulations from me! :ok: |
It's great to hear some good news :ok:
Many congratulations FL, and I do hope that your new duties will still leave you ample time to indulge in some aviating and PPRuNing. Treadders |
And from one who catches, investigates, charges and puts the miscreants in front of Your Honour may I add my congratulations.
As I work within the catchment area of SNCC will I now have to declare a conflict of interest if any of my cases come up in front of yourself? LM |
Doesn't a judge have the right or even obligation to do right!
So when the CAA and/or defendant come up with hogwash he should/could just throw 'em out - literally?!! Just an idea, probably saw to much Law&Order stuff on TV... Congratulations Sir!! You're goin' to change your call sign now? 3top:cool: PS: Funny thing is that a lawyer is supposed to do the best possible for his client, whether it is right/just or not.... He is a Lawyer not a Judge... Now it is the other way around for "Flying Judge"... I assume you have some "discretion" available... |
Congratulations FL, I'm sure you will find some way of staying with us here.
Lord Mount, surely that should be "investigates" then "catches"... :E FL will have you if you get muddled on that one. :ok: |
His Honour Judge Owen is 56 Looks more like 66:p |
Oh Gawd! I'd love to be there when the first ANO prosecution comes before him! :)
Congratulations, and well done. At least there will be someone on one bench who is in touch with modern life (without prejudice to any others that might be there!) Phil |
Well done! Wonderful to see such a knowledgeable, rational & thinking person appointed to such a position.
Does this mean you can ask your own searching questions directly to the CAA's lawyers & witnesses to determine where the truth may lie? Or must you only consider what defense & prosecution present? BTW, if I should ever be up before your beakiness, will a simple "It wasn't me, your Honour" do for me to be acquitted? |
So are we all invited to a bash in New Hall ? ;)
|
Congratulations FL - damn good show.
:ok: Mac |
Congratulations Me Lud
Hearty congratulations Tudor. Most of us only get called to a bar to partake of something which makes us then do stupid things. You were called to a different bar and have moved on to something which will at times call for you to exercise the judgement of Solomon. If your previous experience and your many wise posts on here are anything to go by, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Very well done yer Honour :ok:
|
well done FL :ok:
|
Congratulations Tudor, may your gavel always be noisy!:ok:

Very well done Tudor,
Must make you exceptionally proud, Peter R-B Vfrpilotpb |
