Dame Ingrid Simler has been appointed as a Justice of the Supreme Court

Dame Ingrid, who practised at Devereux Chambers, was called to the Bar by Inner Temple in 1987, after reading law at Cambridge University. She took silk in 2006 and became a High Court judge in 2013, President of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2015, and a Lady Justice of the Court of Appeal in 2019.

Lord Reed, President of the Supreme Court, said Lady Justice Simler would ‘bring exceptional experience and ability to the court following a distinguished career as a barrister and judge. Her experience in employment law, tax, public law and criminal law will be highly valuable to the Supreme Court and will further strengthen us as a world-leading court’.

She replaces Lord Kitchin, who has retired.
