So sad to hear that Lance is no longer with us. Condolences to all.

I first knew Lance when we both worked at Taylor House Tribunal in North London. We realised we were both solicitors previously, and a similar age.

We both moved up to the Upper Tribunal with six more, at the same time.   in fact we became known as 'The Shoreditch 8'. This was because we did our training at a court in Shoreditch, north of the City of London.

I totally agree with other tributes that say that Lance was a gentleman, great colleague, and always fun.

May he rest in peace.
