Colin Pearson, Baron Pearson
Colin Hargreaves Pearson, Baron Pearson, PC, KC, CBE (28 July 1899 – 31 January 1980) was a Canadian-born English barrister and judge. Rising to sit as a judge in the House of Lords, he is best remembered for his unspectacular but efficient and courteous chairmanship of industrial inquiries and royal commissions. His 1978 report into civil liability and compensation for personal injury made proposals for state pensions for accident victims that were largely rejected by government at the time. He was appointed CBE in 1946, knighted in 1951, and sworn of the privy council in 1961. He became a bencher of his inn in 1951, and was treasurer in 1974.
==Early life and legal career==
Born in Minnedosa, Manitoba, Canada, he was the youngest child of lawyer Ernest William Pearson (1861–1936) and Jessie ''née'' Borland (died 1948). When Colin was 7, the family moved to London and he was educated at St. Paul's School. He served in the Guards at the end of World War I before attending Balliol College, Oxford to study Classics (Literae Humaniores').〔Allen (2004)〕 Taking up the law, he joined the Inner Temple and was called to the bar in 1924, becoming a student of Walter Monckton in the chambers of Frederick Temple Barrington-Ward (KC). He later joined the chambers of Sir William Jowitt (KC) where he started to build up a substantial common law practice.
When Jowitt became Attorney General, Pearson was briefed as his junior in the "derating cases" arising from the Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act 1928.
In 1930, Pearson became junior counsel (common law) to the Ministry of Works and in 1937, Recorder of Hythe. During World War II, from 1939 to 1945, he worked at the Treasury Solicitor's office. Returning to the Bar after the war, he took silk in 1949 and, despite only a modest reputation as an advocate,〔 was appointed a judge of the King's Bench Division of the High Court in 1951.
