David Anderson, Baron Anderson of Ipswich

Anderson's father was Sir Eric Anderson, former headmaster of Eton College, who taught Prince Charles (at Gordonstoun), Tony Blair (at Fettes College) and David Cameron and Boris Johnson at Eton, before moving on to Lincoln College, Oxford, where he was Rector while Rishi Sunak was an undergraduate.

Anderson was educated at the Edinburgh Academy; the Dragon School; CES Jargeau (France); Eton College (where he was a King's Scholar); New College, Oxford (1979–82: Ancient and Modern History); Downing College, Cambridge (1982–84: Law); and the Inns of Court School of Law.

Anderson came to the English Bar after spells in Washington DC (1985–86) as a lawyer from abroad at Covington and Burling and in Brussels (1987–88) in the private office of Lord Cockfield, the European Commissioner tasked with completing the Internal Market.

As a practitioner since 1988 at Brick Court Chambers in London and King's Counsel since 1999, Anderson appeared in more than 150 cases in the Court of Justice of the European Union, including for the claimants in the landmark constitutional cases Factortame (supremacy of EU law:1988-2000) and Kadi (UN/EU terrorist sanctions: 2005–2010). His cases in the highest UK courts include ProLife Alliance v BBC (freedom of political speech) and Heathrow Airport's appeal in relation to the national policy statement governing the construction of its third runway.{{Cite web |date=16 December 2020 |title=R (Friends of the Earth and others) v Heathrow Airport Ltd. |url=https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2020-0042.html |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=UK Supreme Court}} Among more than 30 cases that he has presented to the European Court of Human Rights are Bowman v UK (free speech and election spending), McGonnell v UK{{Cite web|url=http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#%7B%22fulltext%22:%5B%22McGonnell%22%5D,%22documentcollectionid2%22:%5B%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22%5D,%22itemid%22:%5B%22001-58461%22%5D%7D|title=HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights|website=hudoc.echr.coe.int|access-date=2017-06-28}} (separation of powers), Hatton v UK {{Cite web|url=http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#%7B%22fulltext%22:%5B%22Hatton%22%5D,%22documentcollectionid2%22:%5B%22GRANDCHAMBER%22,%22CHAMBER%22%5D,%22itemid%22:%5B%22001-61188%22%5D%7D|title=HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights|website=hudoc.echr.coe.int|access-date=2017-06-28}} (night noise and environmental rights), Demopoulos v Turkey{{Cite web|url=http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#%7B%22fulltext%22:%5B%22Demopoulos%22%5D,%22itemid%22:%5B%22001-97649%22%5D%7D|title=HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights|website=hudoc.echr.coe.int|access-date=2017-06-28}} (Cyprus property) and Gaunt v UK{{Cite web|url=https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#{"itemid":["001-167180"]}|title=HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights|access-date=15 October 2019}} (journalists' freedom of expression).

Anderson is a Bencher of Middle Temple. He sat as a Recorder of the Crown Court from 2004 to 2013, and from 2015 to 2024 as a Judge of the Courts of Appeal of Guernsey and Jersey, where he was also the Investigatory Powers Commissioner between 2017 and 2020. Among other professional honours, Anderson was described as the UK's "Legal Personality of the Year" in 2015,{{Cite web|url=http://www.halsburylegalawards.co.uk/halsburylegalawards2015/2015-winners|title=The Halsbury Legal Awards 2016|website=www.halsburylegalawards.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-06-28|archive-date=16 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171216085332/http://www.halsburylegalawards.co.uk/halsburylegalawards2015/2015-winners|url-status=dead}} and as one of London's 1000 most influential people in 2017.{{Cite news|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/the1000/the-progress-1000-londons-most-influential-people-2017-social-pillars-law-a3654101.html|title=The Progress 1000: Law|work=Evening Standard|access-date=2017-10-21|language=en-GB}}

Anderson succeeded Lord Carlile of Berriew CBE QC as the UK's Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation in February 2011. He stepped down after two three-year terms as Independent Reviewer, and was succeeded in post by Max Hill QC on 1 March 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/20/max-hill-independent-reviewer-terrorism-legislation-david-anderson-prevent|title=Leading terror trial QC to be counter-terror laws watchdog|date=20 February 2017|website=The Guardian|last1=Travis|first1=Alan|access-date=22 March 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-independent-reviewer-of-terrorism-legislation-appointed|title=New Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation appointed |date=20 February 2017|website=www.gov.uk|language=en|access-date=22 March 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://terrorismlegislationreviewer.independent.gov.uk/|title=Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation «|website=Terrorismlegislationreviewer.independent.gov.uk|access-date=22 March 2017}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/01/david-anderson-qc-step-down-independent-terror-review-role|title=David Anderson to step down from independent terror review role | UK news|author=Owen Bowcott|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=22 March 2017}} All but one of his 20 reports as Independent Reviewer were laid before Parliament and published in full.

Both Government and opposition credited Anderson for his influence on the Justice and Security Act 2013, which governs the use of closed material procedures in UK courts.Sadiq Khan MP, Hansard HC Deb 4 March 2013, col 687; Lord Wallace, Hansard HL Deb 26 March 2013 col 1061.

Its 125 recommendations aimed to replace it with "a clear, coherent and accessible scheme, adapted to the world of internet-based communications and encryption". The report was described in an opinion piece by an editor at The Guardian as "the turning point that policymakers have looked for and missed ever since 9/11",[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/11/security-privacy-anderson-september-11-gamechanger-thersa-may theguardian.com: "Security v privacy: Anderson offers the balance we've been seeking since 9/11"], 11 Jun 2015 and was a blueprint for the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.

Its conclusions were largely reflected in a Bill that became the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2024/9/contents Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Act 2024].

Anderson has criticised the UK's broad definition of terrorism.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28415712|title=Terrorism definition 'should be narrower'|work=BBC News|date=22 July 2014}} His recommendations were given limited effect in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015{{Cite web |title=Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, section 20(2) |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/6/section/20}} and by the Court of Appeal in R (Miranda) v SSHD (2016) EWCA Civ 6.{{cite web |title=R (Miranda) v SSHD (2016) EWCA Civ 6 |url=https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/miranda-v-home-sec-judgment.pdf''R |website=www.judiciary.gov.uk}} paras 38-56.

On 28 June 2017, after stepping down from the post of Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, Anderson was commissioned by Home Secretary Amber Rudd to provide independent assurance of the detailed review work commissioned by MI5 and Counter-Terrorism Police into their handling of intelligence prior to the four terrorist attacks in London and Manchester between March and June 2017.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/london-and-manchester-terror-attacks-independent-assurance-of-reviews|title=London and Manchester terror attacks: independent assurance of the MI5 and police reviews - GOV.UK|website=www.gov.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-06-28}} His report, which appraised the numerous recommendations for operational improvements arrived at by MI5 and the police with his input, was published in December 2017,{{Cite web|url=https://www.daqc.co.uk/2017/12/05/report-mi5-police-intelligence-handling-reviews/|title=Report into MI5/Police intelligence-handling reviews - David Anderson QC Lawyer London UK|website=www.daqc.co.uk|date=5 December 2017|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-12-07}} with a follow-up "stock-take" in June 2019.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mi5-and-counter-terrorism-policing-implementation-report-2017-terrorist-attacks|title=MI5 and Counter Terrorism Policing Implementation Report|last=Anderson|first=David|date=11 June 2019}}
