Legal Week: Top judge accused of bias in landmark patent appeal: 2 May 2002
The Times: 16 May 2006: Added commentary: “ShellNews.net: Sir Hugh Laddie was the Judge for the Donovan -v- Shell U.K. Limited “Shell Smart” trial at the Royal Courts of Justice. At the time, he was still a High Court Judge known as Mr Justice Laddie. He resigned from being a Judge in controversial circumstances. By coincidence or otherwise, this was subsequent to a letter of complaint sent by Alfred Donovan to the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer.”Times: Definitely no regrets: there is life beyond the High Court
