  1. A quotation from Gordon Hewart

    It is not merely of some importance but is of fundamental importance that justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.

    Gordon Hewart (1870-1943) British politician and jurist; Lord Chief Justice of England (1922-1940)
    Rex v Sussex Justices, ex parte McCarthy, [1924] 1 KB 256, [1923] EWHC KB 1, [1924] KB 256 (1923-11-09) [unanimous decision]
