A lecture in memory of Edmund King QC, 8 March 2022

COMBAR is pleased to announce that on 8 March 2022, at 5.30 p.m. in the Ashworth Theatre, Lincoln’s Inn, Mr Justice Foxton will deliver a lecture in memory of Edmund King QC. Edmund was a distinguished member of Essex Court Chambers and of COMBAR who died in December 2020; he is much missed. The title of the lecture will be “What did the French ever do for us? Historic and prospective French influences on English law.” The lecture will be live streamed but it will also be possible for members of COMBAR to attend in person, and we anticipate that many will wish to do so.
