It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Improvement

This article isn't very good, because it primarily discusses Tabachnik's activities as a friend of Levy and Blair, whereas he is primarily known as an important barrister with a strong record on defending the weak against the strong. The article also fails to note that Tabachnik fled South Africa for anti-apartheid reasons. In short, you focus only on one minor aspect of Tabachnik's work, leaving his real career aside.

As a funny note, you could mention that Lord Levy's son Daniel and Eldred's son Andrew studied in the same year together at Cambridge University (1987-1990), where they knew one another but were not very close.

I hardly think that one sentence amounts to "primarily discussing". If you have any further information which is sourced to a reputable publication feel free to add it. Arniep 12:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Any content that improves the article would be great, considering that the entire article is simply an introduction. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 19:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
