Paying tribute to Timothy, Chair of the Bar Council Barbara Mills KC said:
“The Bar Council is greatly saddened by the death of our former Chair Timothy Dutton CBE KC.
“Timothy was Chair of the Bar in 2008. It was a time of enormous change at the Bar Council, and he was the perfect person to steer the Bar through that change. Later on, his regulatory knowledge and expertise helped to guide the Bar Council through some complicated governance matters. We echo the words of his chambers, Fountain Court, when they speak of his warmth and his support for juniors.
“He leaves a great legacy to the Bar in advocacy training and we are immensely grateful to him for the time and energy he put into the Bar through the many leadership roles he held. Our thoughts are with his wife Sappho, his daughter Pia, and all his friends and family.”
