He is said to have had "more experience in battling the extradition system than any other Canadian lawyer."〔Chris Cobb, "Canada's extradition law: A legal conundrum," ''Ottawa Citizen'', 15 November 2014 http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/canadas-extradition-law-a-legal-condundrum, accessed 16 November 2014〕〔Trent University Alumni Awards and Honours, 18 April 2015, http://www.trentu.ca/alumni/awardsandhonours_awards.php, accessed 1 May 2015 9:44 AM〕
==Early life==
Botting was born in Oakley House near Royal Air Force Station Abingdon (RAF Abingdon) at Frilford Heath near Oxford, England on 19 July 1943. He was christened in the Church of England Parish Church of St. James the Great in Radley, Berkshire. His father, Pilot Officer Norman Arthur Botting DFC, was killed in action over Germany on 15 September 1943 when he was less than two months old—on his older sister Mavis' second birthday. Following the war, their mother Joan, a teacher, took up residence with Group Captain Leonard Cheshire VC, the father of their younger sister, Elizabeth, at Gumley Hall near Bedford Gardens, Market Harborough, Leicestershire〔''The Face of Victory''(London: Hutchinson, 1961) p. 69; Richard Morris, ''Cheshire: The Biography of Leonard Cheshire, VC, OM'' (London: Viking, 2000), pp. 237–240〕 and later she and the children moved with Cheshire to LeCourt, the name of the mansion he had acquired from his aunt in Hampshire.〔Morris (2000), pp. 242–260〕 After witnessing the bombing of Nagasaki at the end of World War II, Cheshire, who had been raised high Anglican, began to examine various religions.〔''The Face of Victory'', pp. 104–110〕 Joan and he agreed about the nature of God as a person.〔''The Face of Victory,'' pp. 47, 55–56; Russell Braddon ''Cheshire V.C.'' (London: Evans, 1954) p. 135〕 Joan was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness in September 1948 and expected Cheshire to follow; when he converted to Roman Catholicism later that year instead, she moved with the children back to Radley.〔''The Face of Victory'', pp. 57–58, 95–98, 148–151〕
Botting attended the Church of England Primary School in Radley. One day when pedaling back from school he found a "rare and portentous Death's-Head Hawk () (''Acherontia atropos'')" at the side of the road.〔Gary Botting, "Preface", Heather and Gary Botting, ''The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses'' (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1984), p. xii〕 Later, in Cambridge, he began collecting moths in earnest.〔"Gary's Open Window Way to Science Prize", ''Toronto Telegram'', 2 May 1960, page 1〕 On Elizabeth's eighth birthday, 8 January 1954, the Botting family arrived in Fort Erie, Ontario as immigrants to Canada.〔
