Thomas Edward Crowther (born May 1970) is a British barrister, who served as a Circuit Judge from 2013 to 2018. He was assigned to the Wales Circuit on 24 July 2013[1][2] and resigned from the circuit bench on 5 December 2018[3].

Career

Crowther became a barrister in 1993 and Queen's Counsel in 2013.[4] He was appointed a fee-paid judge at Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (later the First-Tier Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber) in 2006. Crowther was appointed a Recorder in 2009, a Circuit Judge in 2013, and an associate Judge of the Sovereign Bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in 2015. Crowther was a founder member of Apex Chambers in 2007 and head of chambers in 2012-13.[5]

Following his resignation as a judge, Crowther joined [https://www.serjeantsinn.com/our-people/ Serjeants' Inn Chambers], London, in February 2019.

Note-taking ban

During proceedings at Cardiff Crown Court on 7 and 8 April 2014 Crowther directed that no member of the public could make notes of the proceedings without his permission and twice ruled that the claimant in the case in question could not make notes. On spotting someone taking notes in the public gallery Crowther stated:

"[H]enceforth any taking of notes without permission will be regarded as a contempt of court and will be dealt with as such."

When a judicial review of Crowther's rulings were considered at the High Court a judge there ruled "those who attend public court hearings should be free to make notes of what occurs". That there could be exceptions such as where note taking was done for a wrongful purpose; for example to brief a witness who is not in court was noted. The High Court judged there had been a mistaken understanding that notes should never be taken unless permission was first sought from and granted by the court.[6]
