Sir Stephen Sedley, a former Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal, and The Right Honourable Ann Power-Forde, a former European Court of Human Rights judge, are to discuss the Strasbourg Court at a fund-raising debate by the AIRE Centre.
AIRE, which has been involved in more than 100 cases before the European Court of Human Rights in its 22 years, is holding a panel-discussion on the subject: “What has Strasbourg ever done for us?”
Sedley LJ and Power-Forde will be joined by AIRE founder Nuala Mole, barristers Adam Wagner and Parosha Chandran, and leading immigration specialist Raza Husain QC. The panel will be chaired by legal journalist Joshua Rozenberg. The event is sponsored by Linkaters, who are also hosting the event at their Silk Street offices on Thursday, 26 November.
Wine and hot canapés will be served, there will be a silent auction for such goodies as collectible art pieces and a chance to stay in a villa in Attica, Greece, a legal quiz and music from a live band, The Containers.
Doors open at 6:15pm. The dress code is "wear something blue" and tickets are available here or find out more from kbbarker@airecentre.org.
