Julian Malins, QC (1 May 1950) is a retired British barrister and ex-political candidate who served as the Farringdon ward councillor of the City of London[1] and a Governor of the Museum of London.[2]
Early life
Malins was born in BAOR, West Germany, where his father was serving in the army. Brought up in Ghana, Nigeria and Singapore, he was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he gained 3 boxing blues and hooked for the University rugby team, including in the famous victory over the Springboks on 5 November 1969 at Twickenham and in many other first class games. He studied at The College of Law, and was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1972 by the Middle Temple and subsequently to the Bars of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands and on a case by case basis to other Bars, having been awarded a Harmsworth Scholarship. He was pupil to Baron Alexander of Weedon QC.
Legal career
Malins has served as a Deputy Judge and a Crown Court Recorder since 1990, and is one of England's commercial barristers. An early case was his successful defence of Freeman Ors before the Westminster City Council in 1986.
Malins has represented Sir Elton John and Lord Archer in libel cases (the latter against the Daily Star).[3] He has coordinated the worldwide recovery of US$150 million from exiled Kuwaiti thieves in London, United Kingdom.
Malins served as an Arbitrator of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 2006. He was also a director of other companies, a member of the Government's Panel on Sustainable Development and European and Caribbean counsel to an organization in the B.C.C.I litigation for their work in Cayman, Nassau, the B.V.I., South America, and Europe. He chaired the Disciplinary Tribunal for The Securities and Investments Board (SIB) from 1990 until it became a Financial Services Authority (FSA) in 1997. He is also a Governor of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Malins was retained by Cambridge Analytica to report on its political activities.[4]
In June 2019, the Judicial Conduct Investigation Office released a statement that Recorder Malins had made inappropriate personal comments to a person who appeared in front of him in court. [1]
Political career
As well as being elected a councillor in the City of London, Malins also contested Pontefract and Castleford (UK Parliament constituency) for the Conservatives at the 1987 General Election, where he came second to Labour's Geoffrey Lofthouse.
Malins has now left the Conservative Party and has put himself up as a candidate for The Brexit Party for the Salisbury constituency in the next UK General Election.[5]
