The new Supreme Court has got its full compliment of 12 justices with the appointment of Sir John Dyson (right). An Appeal Court judge since 2001, Lord Justice Dyson, 66, steps into the vacancy left when Lord Neuberger became Master of the Rolls.

Originally from Leeds, he is a former chairman of the British Friends of the Hebrew University's legal group.

Lord Justice Dyson is the fourth justice eligible to have got into JFS, following Lords Brown and Collins plus Lord Phillips (who is of Sephardi descent on his maternal grandparents' side).
