I only once ever appeared before the then Honourable Mr Justice Haddon-Cave - and that merely on a valedictory for my retiring Solicitor friend and Senior Resident Judge (now termed the Recorder) John Warner and so I am unable to say much about him, save that on the evidence of his handling of this vital inquiry so far he appears to be exhibiting just those qualities of authority and (healthy) judicial impatience I have long believed are well fitted for such tasks. Accountability of our armed forces -wherever required as here- must be the aim, despite the especially fraught dimensions. I await the events of the review hearing with much interest -and concern.
