Mary Arden (judge)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Howarth Mance, Baroness Mance, DBE, PC (born 23 January 1947), known by her maiden name as Dame Mary Arden and styled The Rt Hon. Lady Justice Arden, was named to the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in October 2000, replacing Lord Justice Laws as its youngest member.
As is customary, she was at the same time sworn of the Privy Council.
Her husband, Sir Jonathan Mance (now Lord Mance), an alumnus of University College, Oxford, had become a Lord Justice of Appeal a year and a half previously, and they were the only married couple both serving on the Court of Appeal until his elevation to the Peerage and appointment as a Law Lord in October, 2005.
They married in 1973 and were both appointed to the High Court in 1993, she to the Chancery Division in April and he to the Queen's Bench Division in October.
