Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs and Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, on Monday appointed Mr Justice Terence Etherton to be Chairman of the Law Commission for three years, from 1 August 2006.
He succeeds Mr Justice Roger Toulson, whose term of office will then be completed.
Lord Falconer announced that:
"I welcome the appointment of the Honourable Mr Justice Etherton. I know he will be a very valuable asset to the Law Commission and will further enhance the vital work they carry out. I look forward to his contribution over the next three years."
Sir Terence Etherton is 55 years old and was called to the bar in 1974. He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1990 and then appointed as a High Court Judge in 2001, assigned to the Chancery Division.
The Law Commission was established in 1965 to keep the law of England and Wales under constant review, and acts as an advisory public body sponsored by the Department for Constitutional Affairs.
The Commission receives and considers proposals for law reform and then makes reports and proposals for change to Government.
