Many thanks for all the kind words, they mean a great deal.
I've just popped in with a couple of notes about Judge Tugendhat.
One of his judgments, back in 2006, was to approve a total £111,000 settlement for former Essex Police Officer David Clark, who was hounded out of his job after he - correctly - arrested a suspect on a major jewellery robbery case. Unfortunately, his senior officer was corrupt (along with a few other of his senior colleagues) and ordered the de-arrest of this criminal. David Clark was a thoroughly decent police officer, and that shines through if you visit the thread about him on the Police Oracle site - I don't know if it's still there.
Here is a press article about his judgment in the case of David Clark -v- Essex Police:
Policeman was bullied
12:58pm Tuesday 19th September 2006
By Michael Clarke »
A former policeman was the victim of a sustained harassment campaign after reporting a senior colleague for misconduct, a High Court judge has ruled.
David Clark, from Westcliff, who retired on medical grounds after he was constantly bullied by senior officers, has spoken of his relief at winning his case.
Mr Clark, who had served both in Rayleigh and Hadleigh, had claimed the Chief Constable of Essex Police was vicariously liable for his injuries.
Mr Justice Tugendhat accepted he suffered "bullying, harassment, humiliation, intimidation, oppression and victimisation" at work after he made a complaint about a senior officer's handling of a case.
On top of the £18,000 general damages to cover pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, the former detective constable will receive damages to reflect loss of earnings, which could run into six figures.
Mr Clark, 50, who won many commendations during his career, told the Echo: "It's come as a huge relief. I left with depression and a pulse rate of 203, when it should have been 75. I'm about to have a heart operation that will hopefully make me back to normal.
"It was a nightmare. My locker was broken into, my desk searched, there was shouting, constant undermining and humiliation.
"There was a police car parked down my road morning and night observing my comings and goings."
The court heard Mr Clark left the force after 26 years in January 2002, after stopping work in October 1999, suffering from shingles and depression.
His troubles stemmed from his participation in Operation Orchid, an investigation into theft and handling stolen goods.
Mr Clark was appointed officer in charge in July 1997, but claimed he felt like a "marked man" after he complained the investigation had been seriously undermined by Det Sgt John Kreyling, who "de-arrested" a suspect Kreyling knew personally.
The suspect was later acquitted, along with several others.
Mr Clark's complaint of oppressive conduct through the force's grievance procedure was shelved and he was later posted to Hadleigh police station to perform beat duties.
The judge also found Det Chief Insp Graham Bird had been negligent in failing to protect Mr Clark.
Kreyling moved to Basildon police in 2002 before retiring from the force. Bird has also retired.
The judge said that Kreyling was "not capable of belief" and could not be regarded as a "candid witness".
Ruling in Mr Clark's favour, the judge said that he was a "careful and honest" witness.
Mr Clark told the Echo: "The police tried to cover it up. I hope other officers will not be deterred from coming forward and saying the right thing."
Lawyers for the chief constable denied liability and negligence, arguing Mr Clark's injury was not foreseeable and that he failed to take reasonable care for his own health.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "In relation to this specific case, Essex Police is seeking leave to appeal the decision."
[ Note by TB: Essex Police did NOT appeal the decision ].
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Judge Tugendhat on freedom of the press:
Described by The Guardian as "Britain's leading expert on privacy law", Tugendhat told the Commons' select committee on Culture, Media and Sport:
"We must never underestimate the asset we have in the free press and I am afraid a free press is bound to be one that occasionally gets it wrong either by malice or mistake".

May truth and justice prevail. Very best wishes for tomorrow Tony. I cannot believe that this situation has gone this far and pray that one day the truth will be heard. No-one should be imprisoned for daring to question the 'abduction' story.

Can't believe it's come to this - the inequalities and injustice of the whole situation is appalling.
I hope common sense prevails tomorrow and you get a favourable outcome.

Best wishes Tony. I hope justice will prevail and Judge Tugendhat proves to be the honest upstanding judge he appears to be.
Lawyers for Carter-Ruck I don't know how you sleep at night hounding Tony and others simply because they doubt Kate & Gerry McCanns statements - which DO NOT add up and have never been proven in any court.

You said it all for me as well. Good Luck Tony.
I hope the interview of Tapas 7 is a start to the road of justice for Madeleine, and for courageous TB, Amaral, and Pat Brown whom the mccanns bullied for the wrong reasons.
