One of the most senior prosecuting barristers in the country, Bobbie Cheema-Grubb QC (49), has become the first Asian woman to become a High Court Judge in Britain.
The mother-of-three currently works as a Senior Treasury Counsel, and she will take up her new post on 23rd November 2015, in the Queen's Bench Division, dealing with negligence, defamation, personal injury and land disputes.
In 2014, Cheema-Grubb had prosecuted judge Constance Briscoe, who was found guilty of perverting the court of justice and jailed for 16 months.
After being appointed as a High Court judge, the number of female High Court judges will become 23 out of 108, in other words, 21%.
