In August 2006 he was appointed Chairman of the Law Commission for three years, embarking on a wide-ranging public consultation of what laws people wanted changed and setting up the Commission’s first web forum. In 2008, following the expansion of the Court of Appeal from 37 to 38 judges, he took the post of Lord Justice of Appeal, and was subsequently sworn a Privy Counsellor.
Sir Terence is an honorary fellow of Royal Holloway College and also of Corpus Christi, where he occupies the honorary position of President of the College’s law group, the Nicholas Bacon Society. He has an honorary LLD from City University London. In 2009 he was appointed President of the Council of the four Inns of Court for a three year term.
