Henry Milne Scott
ONE of Fiji’s leading citizens, Sir Henry Milne Scott, KC, recently was enter tained at a special dinner in Suva, to mark the completion of 50 years of ac tive work as a lawyer in that Colony. He was admitted to the Bar in Fiji in 1899, and took silk in 1912.
Sir Henry is a distinguished student of constitutional law. In August last, in Suva, three hours before the judgments were delivered, he gave the editor of “PIM” an almost exact forecast of the verdict of the High Court in the Aus tralian Bank Nationalisation case.
Despite a busy and very successful pro fessional life, he has given much public service to Fiji; and he still is active and alert. His father, the late Mr, William Scott, founded the well-known legal firm in Levuka in the early 70’s, and was closely associated with the cession of Fiji to the British Crown. He died in 1898, and the practice was taken over by his youngest son (now Sir Henry), then only 22. Sir Henry’s son, Mr. Maurice Scott, who won distinction in World War 11, is now also a well-known legal practitioner in Fiji, and is taking a prominent place •in public life.
