Guest interviewers the Hon. Mrs Justice Cockerill DBE and Roman Khodykin (BCLP Law Partner) will explore the life and career of Lord Hoffmann from his childhood in South Africa to the House of Lords. The interview will cover his lively references to Humpty Dumpty, Mrs Malaprop and, of course, the reasonable man and his other great passion in life, cycling.
Lord Hoffmann is well-known for his memorable judgments and willingness to break with convention. His decisions have had an enormous impact on the interpretation of contracts, shareholder actions in UK company law, restricting tort liability for public authorities and human rights.
