HALL OF FAME1

Lord Neuberger –One Essex Court ‘David is outstandingly able, extremely hard working, has an excellent manner in conducting hearings, is a highly convivial colleague, and is an unmitigated pleasure to work with and appear before. As a former judge his legal knowledge and his experience of conducting hearings is almost unrivalled, and he brings to his work as arbitrator all the qualities which led to him having such an outstanding career as a judge, not least a capacity for grasping complex issues with alacrity, treating all who appear before him engagingly and with courtesy, and producing awards of the highest quality in terms of reasoning, clarity, and thoroughness.’
