Life

Attorney and Lord Justice of Appeal

After schooling completed Templeman studying law at St John's College of the University of Cambridge and was after his legal admission as a barrister working. As a lawyer , he already gained wide recognition for his fundamental pleadings, such as in 1969 in the Anisminic v Foreign Compensation Commission proceedings pending before the House of Lords . In this important English administrative law case, the House of Lords ruled that any error of law committed by a public authority would void the decision made and that an exclusion clause would not relieve the courts from their jurisdiction of judicial review.

Between 1974 and 1976 he was President of the Senate of the Bar Associations ( Inns of Court ) and subsequently a member of the Royal Commission for Legal Services until 1979.

In 1978 he was appointed Lord Justice of Appeal and judge at the Court of Appeal responsible for England and Wales . He worked at this court of appeal until 1982.

Member of the House of Lords, Lord Justice and major judgments

In 1982 Templeman was raised to the nobility as a peer with the title Baron Templeman , of White Lackington in the County of Somerset, and has been a member of the House of Lords ever since .

As such, he was from 1982 to 1994 as Lord Judge ( Lord of Appeal in Ordinary ). During this time he participated in numerous important decisions in English law, such as:

  • Mountford v Street (1985): In this important property law decision , the court dealt with the question of land occupation and whether the right to occupy a property is based on a contract, such as a tenancy, or just a permit ( "License") justified.
  • Gillick v West Norfolk Area Health Authority (1985): In it, the court dealt with the question of whether a child of 16 or less years of age can decide independently about his or her medical treatment without the consent or knowledge of his parents.
  • R v Brown (1994): Is a judgment of the House of Lords in which a group of men were convicted of consensual sadomasochistic sexual acts over a period of 10 years. You have been found guilty of "unlawful and malicious injury" and of "assaults on the grounds of bodily harm" under sections 20 and 47 of the Offenses against the Person Act 1861 . The central question of the court was whether a valid consent to the attack under these circumstances represented a justification for the acts, which the judges denied. The case went down in British legal history as the Spanner Case because of the previous investigation .
  • Attorney ‐ General for Hong Kong v Reid (1994): This case was a procedure under trust law that ruled that bribes accepted from a person of trust can be traced back to any property bought by that person , and managed by the recipient in a constructive fiduciary manner.
