21 Denning L.J. [i] (2009)

handle is hein.journals/denlj21 and id is 1 raw text is: Lord Slynn of Hadley 1930-2009 Lord Slynn had been connected with Buckingham for some considerable time and his wife taught French here for many years. He was the Chairman of our Advisory Board for the Denning Law Journal and was awarded an Honorary Degree in 1982. Lord Slynn was a champion of human rights and liberty. He led the legal campaign for the Iranian Resistance which eventually led to the removal of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK) from the British and EU blacklists. The Denning Law Journal in 2008 published an article on proscription orders by the Chair of the Bar Human Rights Group in which Lord Slynn's contribution was noted in some detail. He was a staunch believer that the law should not intervene in matters of morality and thus dissented in the House of Lords in the case of Brown, a case of considerable interest to students of criminal law as it raised the issue of whether consent could be a defence to assault in the course of sexual matters. Lord Slynn generously hosted the relaunch of the Denning Law Journal in 2006 at the House of Lords. He was a man of great warmth and charm and was greatly loved by his wife, Odile, and all his family and friends. Lord Slynn is pictured with the Editor of the Denning Law Journal, Susan Edwards and the publisher, Christopher Woodhead at the party to celebrate the re-launch of the journal at the House of Lords in February 2007
