[edit] Early life
Mance was born on 6 June 1943,[1] one of four children of Sir Henry Mance, one-time chairman of Lloyd's of London.[2] Like his father, he attended Charterhouse, a boarding school in Godalming, Surrey.[3] He then studied at University College, Oxford, and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1965, becoming a QC in 1982 and a Bencher in 1989.[4]
[edit] Judicial career
In 1990, he became a Recorder, and in 1993 was appointed a Judge of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court, receiving a knighthood at the same time.[1][3][4] In 1999, he was appointed to the Court of Appeal as a Lord Justice of Appeal, and appointed to the Privy Council.[1][3][4] In 2005, he was appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary[3] and raised to the Peerage as Baron Mance, of Frognal in the London Borough of Camden. He was introduced to the House of Lords between Lord Hoffmann and Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood, then fellow Lords of Appeal, and on the same day as Adair Turner, Chairman of the Financial Services Authority.[5] On 1 October 2009 he and nine other Lords of Appeal became Justices of the Supreme Court upon that body's inauguration.
He has also served as Chairman of the Banking Appeals Tribunal (1992-93), Chairman of the Consultative Council of European Judges (2000), President of the British Insurance Law Association (2000-02), and Trustee of the European Law Academy (2003).[1][3]
[edit] Personal life
He is married to Dame Mary Arden, currently a Lord Justice of Appeal;[6] the two are the first married couple ever to serve concurrently on the Court of Appeal.[7] They have two daughters and a son together. His recreations include tennis, languages, and music.[1][3]
