ARISE DAME NICOLA VELFOR DAVIES DBE


The Queen has been pleased to approve the appointment
 of Miss Nicola Velfor Davies, Q.C., to be a Justice of 
the High Court with effect from 22 January on 
the elevation of Mr. Justice Pitchford to the 
Court of Appeal.  The Lord Chief Justice will assign 
Miss Davies to the Queen’s Bench Division.
Surely the first Dame from Bridgend Girls’ Grammar School?


The doyen of the GMC defence bar: defender of 
Shipman, Meadow and many many other infamous 
doctors, guilty and innocent & now she may hear HIgh Court 
appeals against the GMC's decisions.  She does not suffer 
fools gladly.  She carries big black hand bags.   
You have been warned. 


Congratulations to Pitchford J, now LJ, too.
