Simon Batiste sworn in as a Circuit Judge at the Royal Courts of Justice

Simon Batiste was sworn in as a Circuit Judge yesterday at the Royal courts of Justice by The Master of the Rolls.

Simon was called to the Bar in 1995 and was pupil to George England at Bank House Chambers in Sheffield before moving north to join Number 6 in 1998.

He has been a prominent and popular member of our Criminal Team as a Prosecution and Defence Advocate ever since.

PSQB will certainly miss him but we are very proud of his achievements and we wish him all the very best on the Bench.

His Honour Judge Batiste will sit at Newcastle Crown Court.
