Sir Robert Megarry |
The Times obit was rather good, but disappointingly didn't
mention either Coco v Clark or Ross v Caunters which
are surely among Megarry's more distinctive claims to fame. Also, I have
a memory of a story told to me long ago by the late Alf Donaldson, former
Parliamentary draftsman at Stormont and a younger contemporary of Megarry
in Northern Ireland, that Megarry got a pass or fourth class degree. The
Times rather glosses over his student career, and I wonder if anyone
can confirm the truth or otherwise of the story.

Quoting Charles Mitchell:
Members
of the RDG and ODG may both want to know that Sir Robert Megarry has
died, aged 96. There are obituaries here
and here.
