Warrington was called to the Bar, Lincoln's Inn, in 1875, and after acquiring a large practice, became a Queen's Counsel in 1895.[1] In 1904 he was appointed a judge of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice and knighted.[2] In 1915 he became a Lord Justice of Appeal and sworn of the Privy Council,[3] which entitled him to sit on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. On his retirement in 1926 he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Warrington of Clyffe, of Market Lavington in the County of Wiltshire.[4] He continued to sit on the Judicial Committee after his retirement.
Lord Warrington of Clyffe died in October 1937, aged 86, when the barony became extinct.
"unreasonable in one sense. In another sense it is taking into consideration extraneous matters. It is so unreasonable that it might almost be described as being done in bad faith ... [No] public body can be regarded as having statutory authority to act in bad faith or from corrupt motives, and any action purporting to be that of the body, but proved to be committed in bad faith or from corrupt motives, would certainly be held to be inoperative.[5][6]
