Brighton & Hove - Health and Social Value programme
In Brighton & Hove, IVAR ran a Health and Social Value programme which provided the space and time for the voluntary sector, local council and Clinical Commissioning Groups to focus on one important area – how to best understand and embed social value.
This fast-tracked the production of a framework and guide that everyone had the opportunity to contribute to.

Family go to court over whether law lord brain defied dementia - Daily News
Family go to court over whether law lord brain defied dementia - Daily News
Family,court,battle,law,lord,Sid,Viciouss,brain,defied,dementia,later,life As a judge and a law lord, Sydney Templeman’s razor-sharp intellect and quick ripostes earned him the epithet ‘Sid Vicious’ among wary barristers.
Now, five years after his death, the High Court, where he earned his fearsome reputation, will provide the setting for a bitter family legal battle that will focus on the very soundness of his mind.
Lord Templeman’s barrister son, Michael, has launched a legal challenge to his final will, claiming the dementia his father suffered from in later life makes it invalid.
However, the step-daughters of Lord Templeman’s late second wife, who stand to inherit the proceeds of the sale of his home, insist he knew what he was doing when he left them the £580,000 property in Devon.
Sarah Edworthy and Jane Goss-Custard will use expert evidence to claim that because of Lord Templeman’s remarkable mental capacity, the effects of mild dementia would not be as marked compared to a less intelligent person.
Michael, 67, and his wife Lesley believe twice-widowed Lord Templeman was too confused to legitimately sign a will in 2008.

But the sisters will submit a report from psychiatry expert Professor Robert Howard, who argues that while Lord Templeman was probably ‘mildly affected by dementia’ at the time, his ‘extraordinary pre-morbid intellectual ability’ left him with a ‘significant cognitive reserve’ when he made the will.
Dr Howard added: ‘This is a quality seen in people with superior intelligence … whereby the patient is able to compensate to some extent for the loss of cognitive function caused by the dementia.’
Lord Templeman’s first wife, Margaret Rowles, died in 1988. They had two sons – Michael and Peter, a Church of England vicar.
In 1996, the judge married Sheila Edworthy and moved into her home which she bequeathed to him.
.
The High Court has already heard that the new will was drafted by David Merrick, a solicitor in Exeter who was struck off in 2016 following allegations of dishonesty in an unrelated matter. A note made by Mr Merrick at the time says he produced the document at Lord Templeman’s request and that his client ‘seemed very much better, while still obviously upset by the death of Sheila’.
Rejecting a pre-emptive bid by Michael and Lesley to strike down the 2008 will, Judge Karen Shuman said there was a ‘compelling reason’ why full evidence about Lord Templeman’s mental capacity in 2008 needed to be tested at a full High Court hearing next January.
The son of a coal merchant, Lord Templeman served as a law lord in the UK’s highest court for 12 years until 1994.
His cases included the controversial Spycatcher case in 1987 that followed a Government ban on the publication of the memoirs of former MI5 officer Peter Wright.
Lord Templeman died in 2014 and his obituary in The Times recalled a case where he had savaged the lead counsel, before asking whether his junior would like to speak.

His lecture, Three Jubilees, drew on the golden jubilee of the Victorian Society as well as the golden and diamond jubilees of Queen Victoria and reflected on the nature of institutions and the corporate identities they construct.

‘ST GEORGE IN A WIG’ –
A NEW BIOGRAPHY OF A ‘JUDICIAL MAVERICK’
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
How fleeting is the fame of judges -- well known one day and consigned to obscurity the next -- a mere footnote in legal history. Such seems to have been the fate of Mr Justice McCardie, who if Antony Lentin’s latest biography is anything to go by, was an especially notable and fiercely controversial judge.
A High Court judge from 1916 to 1933, McCardie was a household word in his day, a towering figure around whom clouds of controversy continually swirled. Almost like Lord Denning in the latter half of the twentieth century, the name of McCardie has undergone a sad eclipse, as evidenced rather poignantly by his bronze portrait bust in the Queen’s Room at Middle Temple Hall, which inexplicably bears no plaque which identifies it. Also, it seems that there is no mention of him in the recently published ‘History of Middle Temple’ of which he was a member. Perhaps these oversights will eventually be redressed with the publication of this book.
This particular judicial biography grew out of an entry on Mr Justice McCardie which the author was asked to write for ‘The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography’ – and a startling journey it has obviously been. Lawyers, academics and general readers interested in all things judicial – and their effects on social change -- will be especially fascinated.
‘St. George in a wig’
McCardie was both lauded and denounced for his iconoclasm, says the author, notably on ‘his insistence that ‘the law must move with the times’. He deplored outdated laws and precedents which fell to him to administer – and as Lentin also observes, ‘he strove not merely to make the law comply with precedents, but beyond that, to make it answer the needs of the day.’
‘Judicial creativity’ like this, manifested in public statements widely reported in the press, incurred fury within a large cross-section of society scandalized by, for example, McCardie’s heretical views on mid-Victorian divorce laws, abortion, contraception and eugenics. The ‘Daily Express’ called him a ‘St. George in a Wig, a champion of women’s rights’ who ‘turns his bench into a pulpit for Woman’s cause.’
No wonder McCardie was popular with some and vilified by many others as a ‘judicial maverick’ and ‘rogue judge.’ But other voices like that of the Manchester Guardian predicted that ‘history will give Henry McCardie his place in the succession of the great common-law judges of England.’
Fatal Flaws
In all, Antony Lentin paints a vivid picture of a courageous judge much ahead of his time. An assiduous scholar, McCardie was also a well known Latinist who for instance, founded the Horatian Society which even now continues to attract enthusiastic devotees of Horace. It is only when you get to the penultimate chapter of this book that you discover the personal flaws and failings that led to McCardie’s eventual ruin.
Unknown to most of his contemporaries, McCardie was a compulsive gambler and kept two mistresses. One of them bore him a son of whom he was very fond, but to whom he never admitted paternity. Eventually debt-ridden and penniless, he ended his own life. For details read this book, which the author has copiously researched using many original sources. The result is an absorbing narrative which fills in any number of blanks in the story of Mr Justice McCardie and which therefore makes an important contribution to English legal history.
