The Right Honourable The Viscount Finlay GCMG PC Portrait by Henry Macbeth-Raeburn , 1917 Lord Chancellor In office 10 December 1916 - 10 January 1919 Monarch George V Prime Minister David Lloyd George Preceded by The Lord Buckmaster Succeeded by The Lord Birkenhead Personal details Born Robert Bannatyne Finlay ( 1842-07-11) 11 July 1842 Newhaven , Edinburgh Died 9 March 1929( 1929-03-09 ) ( aged 86 ) Kensington , London Nationality British Political party Liberal Liberal Unionist Scottish Unionist Spouse Mary Innes ( d. 1911 ) Alma mater University of Edinburgh Middle Temple Finlay 's arms displayed in the House of Lords Robert Bannatyne Finlay , 1st Viscount Finlay , GCMG , PC ( 11 July 1842 - 9 March 1929 ) , known as Sir Robert Finlay from 1895 to 1916 , was a British barrister and politician who was Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1916 to 1919 . Background and education Finlay was born at Cherry Bank in Newhaven , Edinburgh , the son of William Finlay , a physician , and Ann , daughter of Robert Bannatyne . He was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and Edinburgh University , graduating in medicine in 1864 . Legal and political career After entering Middle Temple as a student in 1865 , Finlay was called to the bar two years later and built up a successful practice , becoming a Queen 's Counsel in 1882 . Three years later he was elected Liberal Member of Parliament for the Inverness Burghs , but broke with William Ewart Gladstone over Irish Home Rule and joined the Liberal Unionists in 1886 . He lost his seat in 1892 but regained it three years later , the same year he was appointed Solicitor-General and knighted . In 1900 , Finlay became Attorney-General for England and also became President of the Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club , and gave the Toast to Sir Walter at the club 's annual dinner . In November 1902 he was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University for three years , and the same month he was elected Treasurer of the Middle Temple for the ensuing year . For his services in representing the British Empire in a number of international legal arbitrations he was appointed GCMG in 1904 , and the following year became a Privy Counsellor . However , in the 1906 general election he again lost his seat , and it was four years before he returned to Parliament as member for Edinburgh and St Andrews Universities . One of his last official acts as Attorney General was to appoint his son , William Finlay , as the junior counsel to the Board of Inland Revenue , an appointment which provoked much negative comment . Judicial career On 19 December 1916 , Finlay became Lord Chancellor in Lloyd George 's coalition government , being at the same time created Baron Finlay , of Nairn in the County of Nairn . It is generally thought that Finlay was a temporary appointment : Lloyd George excluded him from the War Cabinet and insisted that he forgo the £5,000 pension given to retired lord chancellors . He sat on the Woolsack for three years , and in 1919 , on his retirement , was created Viscount Finlay , of Nairn in the County of Nairn on 27 March . The following year he was appointed a British member of the Court of Arbitration at The Hague , and in 1921 was elected a Judge of the Permanent Court of International Justice established by the League of Nations . As a judge of the Permanent Court , he participated in the celebrated Lotus case in 1927 , where the Court , by a bare majority , laid down the " Lotus principle " that States may exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction i.e. they may apply their national laws beyond their own borders , in any case where this is not explicitly prohibited . Finlay himself dissented from the majority decision . Finlay received the freedom of the Royal burgh of Nairn on 1 October 1902 . Family Lord Finlay married Mary , daughter of Cosmo Innes , in 1874 . She died in June 1911 . Lord Finlay died in March 1929 , aged 86 , at his home in Kensington , London , and was buried at Nairn . He was succeeded in his titles by his son , William Finlay , later a Lord Justice of Appeal . Cases * Cotman v Brougham AC 514 * Lotus case 1927 PCIJ series A No.9 |
