Lord? Sir?

In his opening remarks to the Leveson Inquiry Brian Leveson said:

“

Good morning. My name is Brian Leveson. Although flattered that various politicians and members of the press have elevated me to the rank of peerage, I am not Lord Leveson: my judicial rank is that of a Lord Justice of Appeal.

”

So is he a Sir? He says he isn't a Lord or a peer, so I would assume not. His name should maybe be reconfigured. Kaleeyed (talk) 16:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think he means he should not be referred to as 'Lord Leveson', rather 'Lord Justice Leveson'. —Yk Yk Yk talk ~ contrib 16:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All Hight Court judges are knighted on appointment, so are thereafter "Sir". In court, however, they are known as "Mr Justice". On appointment to the Court of Appeal, they are known in court as "Lord Justice". Outside court in a non legal context, however, they remain knighted, so are "Sir". His opening remark was to clarify that he is not Lord Leveson as he isn't a peer or Supreme Court judge.
