Atkin Lecture by Lord Justice Beatson - Judicial Independence: Internal and External Challenges and Opportunities
It is a great honour to be invited to give this lecture. Lord Atkin's paradigm changing speech in Donoghue v Stevenson and his dissent in Liversidge v Anderson are known to all lawyers and law students, but his illuminating contributions stretch across many areas of private and public law. Professor Robert Stevens, a pioneer of scholarship on the judiciary in this country and a member of this club, stated that "between 1930 and 1940, no law lord had greater influence in the House of Lords" .A HTML version of this speech is not available click here or view below the pdf version : Speech
