Obituary: Mr Justice Richard Johnson
A full obituary of Mr Justice Richard Johnson, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 81, has been published by The Irish Times.
He served as president of the High Court from November 2006 until October 2009, when he was succeeded by Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns.
He is noted in the obituary for the “strong admixture of skill, courtesy and competence which he brought to his courtroom, as well as for the wit and conviviality which, from his student days, enlivened both his social and family life”.
