Desmond Browne paid tribute to James’s great contribution over the years to building up 5RB to its present strength: “Right to the end of his time, James has been instructed in some of the leading media law cases of the day both here and in the Far East. The announcement of his decision to retire was a very sad moment, but perhaps we should not have been surprised. James, as always, was as good as his word, When chosen as The Times’ Lawyer of the Week a decade ago, he predicted that in ten years’ time, he would be on his terrace in Corfu. It should go without saying that he will be very much missed by his many clients and by his colleagues and staff at 5RB.”
