“The promotion of Lord Justice Carnwath and Lord Reed to the supreme court is to be warmly welcomed, even though neither of them is a woman. The court will need a chancery specialist when Lord Walker retires. Sir Robert Carnwath served as a judge of the high court chancery division for eight years, the last three as chairman of the Law Commission. Though 66, he can remain a justice of the supreme court until he is 75.”
