Nigel Ley (1947-2020)

The barrister and author Nigel Ley has died after a lengthy illness. The above photograph is a screengrab from a YouTube video uploaded in 2013. He should not be confused with another barrister of the same name.
Nigel Joseph Ley  was the only child of Gerald Ley and Grace Ley née Betesh; they married at Manchester in early 1945. Nigel attended Battersea Grammar School then studied at Manchester University, and was called to the Bar in 1969.
