CICM TURNER LECTURE 20:20 Vision The CICM Turner Lecture is now celebrating its 20th anniversary. AUTHOR – Richard Seadon FCICM THE CICM Turner Lecture, as we now know it, began in the year 2000 when Senior Master Robert Turner of the High Court kindly consented to attend the Law Society one evening in October after finishing at Court. The previous year I had attended a lecture by Senior Master Turner in London on the subject of the Woolf Reforms of 1998 as arranged by our London branch. On reporting back to the CICM committee at Kent, all thought what a grand idea it would be to have members of the Kent branch hear the same lecture. On approaching Master Turner, he was initially a little reluctant to come to Kent after a busy day in Court in London. On approaching him again with the idea that Kent members attended the Law Society in London he agreed, and so began an excellent relationship with him and some of his team at Court. Our first evening turned out to be not only a dismal evening weather wise but an evening when there was a train strike. However around 70 people attended despite the difficulties and enjoyed the event to such an extent that they requested a similar event the following year. Master (now professor) Turner so enjoyed the first occasion that he remained for about an hour afterward chatting to the delegates and finally approaching me to ask if it was alright for him to go! It was a humble trait of his I think we all came to admire over the years as our relationship with him went from strength to strength. In one of his talks he described himself (at the time the Queen’s Rembrancer) as the country’s most senior debt collector! POPULAR DEMAND Many of our members will recall that as time passed the lectures, with Master Turner’s agreement, became known as the CICM Turner Lectures, most of which have been held at the Law Society. As many of you will also know, Master Turner became President of the CICM serving as such until his 75th year. During his years of office, he was rarely missing from a council meeting and contributed greatly to bringing about effective changes in the governance of the institute. We owe him a debt of gratitude. Over the now 20 years this event will have run we have been greatly aided by T G Baynes Solicitors of Bexleyheath and Henderson Chambers of London who have not only generously sponsored some of our lectures but have also taken part in presenting them at no cost to us. Over these years there have been talks on the changes in the law, insolvency, cybercrime, data protection, managing the collection of accounts abroad, mock meetings of creditors and mock trials. This year’s event being the 20th will be a mock trial on a question of liability where the defendants allege that the person entering into the contract did not have the authority to do so. Our members say this is a common problem they face almost on a daily basis and naturally want to know where they stand. It is worth mentioning too that such has been the involvement of some members of the legal profession in the CICM Turner lectures that some are now Fellows of our institute. These include John White, Chief Clerk, Nazeer Chowdhury Barrister-at-law and Toby Riley-Smith QC all of Henderson Chambers. Others also presenting have included Richard Mawrey QC and Peter Susman QC, and at T G Baynes Senior Partner Michael Clark has been one of the most prominent supporters of our event. We owe them all our thanks. This year’s event, by popular request, will take place at the Law Society, Chancery lane on Friday 8 November commencing at 17:30 with a reception till 18:30 and finishing at 20:00 after the “lecture” has finished. I hope as many of you as are able will book to come to what promises to be another entertaining and informative event. This year’s event being the 20th will be a mock trial on a question of liability where the defendants allege that the person entering into the contract did not have the authority to do so. ● THE CICM TURNER LECTURE 20TH ANNIVERSARY20 YEARS The Recognised Standard / www.cicm.com / July/August 2019 / PAGE 45
