Sir Peter Fraser has been appointed chair of the Law Commission of England and Wales, replacing Sir Nicholas Green. His three-year term begins on 1 December.
Sir Nicholas said: ‘His expertise and skills will be invaluable in leading the Commission to deliver effective law reform in an exciting period of change.’
Sir Peter was called to the Bar in 1989, and specialised in international arbitration, technology, engineering and construction disputes. He was appointed a recorder of the crown court in 2002 and QC in 2009. He sits both as a judge of the Technology and Construction Court (and was judge in charge from 2017 to 2020) and the Commercial Court.
