}}Sir Stephen John Irwin (born 5 February 1953), styled The Rt Hon Lord Justice Irwin, is a British judge and former barrister. Since September 2016, he has been a Lord Justice of Appeal (an ordinary judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales). From May 2006 to 2016, he served as a judge of the High Court of England and Wales.[1]

Early life and education

Irwin was born on 5 February 1953 in Northern Ireland.[2][3] He was educated at Methodist College Belfast, a grammar school in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[4] Having gained an open scholarship, he studied law and English at Jesus College, Cambridge.[5] He graduated from the University of Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1975.[2] He then undertook a year of training in order to qualify as a barrister.

Legal career

In 1976, Irwin was called to the bar by Gray's Inn.[2][3] He then practised as a barrister, and specialised in "clinical negligence, enquiries and scientific tort cases".[3] On 8 April 1997, he was appointed a Queen's Counsel (QC).[6] In 1999, he was appointed an Assistant Recorder; as such, he served as a part-time judge in addition to practising a barrister.[3][7] On 18 July 2000, he was appointed a Recorder of the South Eastern Circuit.[8] During the 2002/2003 tax year, he received £314,000 in legal aid fees; "Mr Irwin received £314,000, most of which is likely to relate to a group action over Gulf war syndrome against the Ministry of Defence which collapsed this year when legal aid was withdrawn because of a lack of scientific evidence.".[9] In 2004, he served as Chairman of the Bar Council.[2]

Judiciary

On 18 May 2006, Irwin was appointed a judge of the High Court of Justice (Queen's Bench Division).[10] From 2008 to 2012, he was a Presiding Judge on the Northern Circuit.[3][7] In 2012, he was appointed a Member of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC).[2] The SIAC has been described as the "most controversial" and "most secret court within English law".[11] From January 2013 to December 2015, he served as Chairman of the SIAC.[7] On 1 October 2016, he was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal.[12]

Personal life

In 1978, Irwin married Deborah Rose Ann Spring. Together they have three children; two daughters and one son.[2] From 2012 to 2015, he served as Chair of the Poetry Society.

Honours

In 2006, as is customary for newly appointed High Court Judges, Irwin was made a Knight Bachelor and therefore granted the title Sir.[2] On 24 October 2016, he was appointed a Member of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, and therefore granted the style of The Right Honourable.[13]
