This Kat just noticed that the valedictory ceremony for Lord Kitchin of the UK Supreme Court will be held on Tuesday 25 July 2023, following the announcement that his Lordship would retire at the end of the legal year in September 2023.
The ceremony will take place in Courtroom One and be live streamed on the UK Supreme Court website.
The UK Supreme Court says that ‘The ceremony will include remarks by the President of The Supreme Court, The Right Hon Lord Reed of Allermuir, Daniel Alexander KC, and Iain Purvis KC. Lord Kitchin will also say a few words himself.’
Welcome speeches made when a practitioner goes to the Bench and valedictory remarks on the retirement of a judge in the UK are always great fun which this Kat reads whenever one becomes available.
The IPKat looks forward to the ceremony and wishes Lord Kitchin a very happy retirement!

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
