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.

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
