Thomas Edward Scrutton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Thomas Edward Scrutton (1856-1934) was an English legal text-writer and judge.

Thomas Edward Scrutton was born in London, UK. He studied at the University of London, and after an outstanding academic career developed a busy practice in commercial cases, and wrote The Contract of Affreightment as Expressed in Charter-parties and Bills of Lading (1886). Over a century later, this is still the standard text, while several of his other legal works remain useful. He was a judge of the King's Bench Division (1910–16) and of the Court of Appeal (1916–34).^[1]
