Life

Luxmoore was born on 27 February 1876 to Arthur Coryndon Hansler Luxmoore, an artist, and his wife Katherine. After studying at The King's School, Canterbury he matriculated to Jesus College, Cambridge,[1] which he represented in rugby and cricket. Called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1899, he took a place in the chambers of George Cave after graduation in 1900. After playing for the England national rugby union team against both Scotland and Wales he threw himself into his work as a barrister, and built up a successful practice. In 1919 he applied to become a King's Counsel, and was accepted. He became a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn in 1922, and in February 1929 was knighted and made a judge of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice.[2]

A well-respected and hard working judge, Luxmoore was promoted to the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in October 1938 and made a Privy Councillor. Although not normally delivering the leading judgment, his secondary judgments and dissenting judgments proved valuable, and dissenting judgments were several times upheld by the House of Lords. In 1943 he was made Treasurer of Lincoln's Inn, but in March was taken ill suffering from overwork. He returned to the Bench, but suffered a heart attack on 25 September 1944 and died.[2]
