Lord Kerr Death: Accolades have been paid to resigned Supreme Court equity Lord Kerr, who has passed on at 72 years old.

Brian Francis Kerr, Lord of Tonaghmore, passed on after a short sickness two months after his retirement, the Supreme Court declared on Tuesday.

Master Kerr had filled in as the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland somewhere in the range of 2004 and 2009, when he was designated as one of the principal Justices in the recently made Supreme Court.

He was the principal Justice of the Supreme Court to come from Northern Ireland, serving until his retirement in September 2020.

Ruler Kerr was instructed at St Colman’s College, Newry, under the steady gaze of examining law at Queen’s University, Belfast.

He was called to the Bar in Northern Ireland in 1970, joining the bar of England and Wales four years after the fact.
