Lord Justice Fulford has been entirely exonerated of media allegations that he supported the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) in the late 1970s while a volunteer at the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office confirmed last week. The investigation was announced on 14 March. Lord Kerr, a Justice of the Supreme Court and former Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland, carried out an independent investigation. He concluded that Fulford LJ was not and had never been a supporter of PIE or its aims, and that there was nothing untoward in any of the judicial decisions he had reached.
