You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Leslie George Scarman, Baron Scarman''', ((postnominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|OBE|PC)) (29 July 1911 – 8 December 2004) was an English [[judge]] and [[barrister]], who served as a [[Law Lord]] until his retirement in 1986.

==Early life and education==
Scarman was born in [[Streatham]] but grew up on the border of [[Sussex]] and [[Surrey]]. He won scholarships to [[Radley College]] and then [[Brasenose College, Oxford]], where he read Classics, graduating in 1932 with a First.

==Legal career==
He was called to the bar at the [[Middle Temple]] in 1936. He remained briefless until [[World War II]], which he spent in the [[Royal Air Force]] as a staff officer in England, North Africa, and then continental Europe. He was present with [[Arthur Tedder]] when [[Alfred Jodl]] surrendered at [[Reims]]. He was appointed an [[Officer of the Order of the British Empire]] (OBE) in 1944. He returned to law in 1945, practising from chambers at 2, Crown Office Row, known since the 1970s as [[Fountain Court Chambers]], and in the late 1940s and early 1950s he started to build the chambers' reputation for commercial litigation, together with [[Alan Stewart Orr|Alan Orr]] and [[Melford Stevenson]], supported by a notable clerk, Cyril Batchelor.<ref>[https://www.fountaincourt.co.uk/chambers/history/ History] at fountaincourt.co.uk, retrieved 8 March 2019</ref> He became a [[Queen's Counsel]] in 1957.

Scarman was appointed a [[High Court judge (England and Wales)|High Court judge]] in 1961, assigned to the [[Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division]], transferring to the [[Family Division]] when the latter was created in 1971. On his appointment he received the customary [[Knight Bachelor|knighthood]].<ref>((London Gazette
| issue = 42285
| date = 21 February 1961
| page = 1359
))</ref> He joined the [[Courts of England and Wales#Court of Appeal|Court of Appeal]] in 1973, and was sworn of the Privy Council. On 30 September 1977, Scarman was made a [[Lords of Appeal in Ordinary|Lord of Appeal in Ordinary]], becoming '''Baron Scarman''', ''of [[Quatt]] in the [[County of Salop]]''.<ref>((London Gazette
| issue = 47342
| date = 4 October 1977
| page = 12509
))</ref> He served in the Lords until his retirement in 1986.

He was appointed head of the [[Law Commission (England and Wales)|Law Commission]] from 1965 to 1973, during which time 27 Commission-inspired statutes were made law. As a judge, Scarman's career had some controversial decisions. Although widely regarded as a liberal, he [[Whitehouse v. Lemon|upheld]] the [[blasphemy]] conviction of ''[[Gay News]]'' (1979), punctured the [[Greater London Council|GLC]]'s ''[[Fares Fair]]'' low-cost public transport policy (1981), and supported the banning of [[trade union]]s at [[Government Communications Headquarters|GCHQ]] (1985).

He is best known for chairing the [[Scarman report|public inquiry]] on the causes of the [[race riot]]s in [[1981 Brixton riot|Brixton in 1981]]. He also chaired inquiries into the [[Northern Ireland riots of August 1969]] (1969–1972), the [[Red Lion Square disorders]] (1975) and the [[Grunwick dispute]] (1977).<ref>((Cite book|last=Lewis, Helen, 1983-|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1129661369|title=Difficult women : a history of feminism in 11 fights|year=2020|isbn=978-1-78733-128-0|location=London|oclc=1129661369))</ref> ((citation needed|date=March 2015))

==Later life==
After entering the House of Lords the more liberal aspects of his character dominated – he was chancellor of the [[University of Warwick]] and president of the British Institute of Human Rights, and worked on behalf of the [[Prince's Trust]], the [[Birmingham Six]], and [[Charter 88]] among many other projects. Scarman was elected to the [[American Philosophical Society]] in 1983.<ref>((Cite web |title=APS Member History |url=https://search.amphilsoc.org/memhist/search?creator=Leslie+George+Scarman&title=&subject=&subdiv=&mem=&year=&year-max=&dead=&keyword=&smode=advanced |access-date=2022-05-31 |website=search.amphilsoc.org))</ref> In 1991 he set up the '''Scarman Trust'''. ((citation needed|date=March 2015))

==Personal life and death==
He married Ruth Wright in 1947, with whom he had one son. He died in 2004 at his home in [[Westgate-on-Sea]].<ref>[https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200405/minutes/041213/ldminute.htm Announcement of his death at the House of Lords] House of Lords minutes of proceedings, 13 December 2004.</ref>
