Sir Iain Glidewell PC (8 June 1924 – 8 May 2016) was a Lord Justice of Appeal[1] and Judge of Appeal of the High Court of the Isle of Man. He was made a privy councillor in 1985.[2]
He was educated at Bromsgrove School[citation needed] and Worcester College, Oxford where he was later made an Honorary Fellow.[citation needed] At Gray's Inn, one of the four English Inns of Court, he held the positions of Treasurer (1995),[3] and Master of the Bench.[3]
In 1997 he was commissioned by the British government to review the Crown Prosecution Service. His report made recommendations to maximise efficiency within the prosecution process.[4][5] Glidewell maintains the opinion that in the United Kingdom, QCs should be appointed following the recommendation of a panel chaired by a retired Law Lord or a Lord Justice of Appeal.[6]
He died on 8 May 2016.[7]
