2019 Denning Lecture
4th December 2019
BACFI Denning Lecture and Christmas Reception
BACFI was honoured to welcome its president, Lady Hale to speak at our Denning Lecture at the Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall. We had over a hundred people attend this event held in such a wonderful venue. It was Lady Hale’s second Denning Lecture having given the lecture in 2008. Lady Hale spoke of the history of the development of women’s rights over the previous hundred years and how by learning from that history we can see how we can go forward. She spoke of the work that she had done as both an academic lawyer and then as a practicing barrister working with women’s groups to develop the law on sex discrimination, equal pay and domestic abuse. Lady Hale said she was “grateful” for the BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers for drawing attention to “coercive control” in a 2016 plot strand involving the characters Rob Titchener and Helen Archer. This was mentioned in the press following the lecture. She concluded by stating “Not all women are feminists but many men are and that gives us hope for the future”. Her lecture can be found HERE. The event was a sell out and attended by both the outgoing chair of the Bar, Richard Atkins QC and Amanda Pinto QC, chair elect. It was also great to see so many BACFI Vice Presidents attending and catching up with each other over fantastic wine and canapés. Many thanks to our administrator, Sandra who organised this highly successful event to conclude the year.
