Sir Michael Supperstone (born 30 March 1950), styled The Hon. Mr Justice Supperstone, is a judge of the High Court of England and Wales.
He was educated at St Paul's School, London and Lincoln College, Oxford.[1]
He was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 1973 and became a bencher there in 1999. He was made a QC in 1991, deputy judge of the High Court from 1998-2010, and judge of the High Court of Justice (Queen's Bench Division) since 2010.
Supperstone presided over the long-running case involving The Consulting Association, which was found guilty of blacklisting construction workers and denying them employment over union affiliations. The case was brought to court by the blacklisted workers who had sought to uncover the truth behind the secret blacklist. [2][3]
