Jeremy Nicholas "Jem" Barnecutt (7 July 1950 – 5 July 2018) was a British lawyer and Green Party politician.
Early life and education
Barnecutt was born on 7 July 1950 in Exeter, England. He attended Exeter School, a private day school, from 1961 to 1968.[1]
Career
Barnecutt passed the bar in 1976.[2]
Barnecutt moved to Ongar in the 1980s, where he was appointed chairman of the Trustees of the Friends of St Martins and St Peters and was a member of the Parochial church council. As a member of the Green Party of England and Wales, he ran in the Epping Forest District Council elections of 2010 and 2011, and the Essex County Council election of 2013. He planted three of his own woods with approximately 12,000 trees. The Green Party said "Jeremy is a firm defender of social justice both within his profession and in the local community. If elected, Jeremy would strive to improve the local economy through promoting rights for small business owners and promoting local produce."[3]
Barnecutt trained at Sharpe Pritchard and was with them for his whole career, practising litigation chiefly. He oversaw the Sunday trading battles of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when he acted for various local authorities, ultimately taking a case to the European Court of Justice. He was director of Sharpe Pritchard Limited from 20 December 1994 to 30 July 2013, and a partner at Sharpe Pritchard LLP from 12 August 2013 to 31 March 2014.[4][5]
In 1994, Barnecutt began as a member of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. He served as vice-president from 2003 to 2009 and President from 2009 to 2012. He was an inaugural director of Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal Administration Limited from 23 July 2008 to 23 July 2014,[4] and its chairman.[6] In all these roles, he "worked tirelessly for the good of the Tribunal, the public and the profession." His "commitment to his profession accompanied by his strong sense of public service are evident from the number of hours of his own time (unpaid until a few years ago) that he dedicated to the Tribunal and its improvement and development." As chairman, his judgement was "sound and astute."[7]
Barnecutt retired from practice as a solicitor, from Sharpe Pritchard LLP, and from the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal on 31 October 2014.[7]
Death
Barnecutt died on 5 July 2018, two days before his 68th birthday, following ill health, in Brighton, England. His death was announced by Edward Nally of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.[8]
Sharpe Pritchard wrote that "Jem was a gregarious and funny man and a great lawyer. He has been and will continue to be sorely missed by those who knew him here and whose careers he helped shape."[5]
