The Rt Hon The Lord Dyson

Master of the Rolls

Master of the Rolls Lord Dyson is the head of civil judiciary in England and Wales, appointed to the position in 2012. Dyson went to Leeds Grammar School and studied Classics at Oxford. He began practising as a barrister in 1968 and took silk in 1982. In 2001 he was appointed to the Court of Appeal and became a Supreme Court justice in April 2010. He has recently expressed concern over a perceived ‘compensation culture’ in the UK, and says lawyers and the media have a duty to address the idea that huge sums of money will be paid out by the courts to compensate minor injuries.
