Dear friends and colleagues,

I am most pleased to announce the appointment by the Lord Chancellor (with the approval of HM the Queen) of Professor Charles Mitchell as Honorary Queen’s Counsel.

The announcement at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/lord-chancellor-welcomes-promotion-of-new-silks--2 states:

Professor Charles Mitchell

Professor Charles Mitchell is one of the outstanding and most respected academic authorities on the law of unjust enrichment and the law of trusts. He has written books on subrogation; on contribution and reimbursement; on unjust enrichment; and on trusts. His work on the most recent editions of Goff and Jones: The Law of Unjust Enrichment has proved invaluable in cases which have come before the Supreme Court. He has shown dedication to bridging the gap between theory and practice, through his development and clarification of the law, including particularly difficult areas of law where conflicting authorities make underlying principles hard to discern.

Congratulations Charles!

Lionel
