Letter to the Editor Obituary RONALD WARD, F.R.I.B.A., F.R.S.H., A.I.STRUCT.E. Tt was with great regret that we learned, as we went to press, of the death of 1 Mr. Ronald Ward, Past-President of the Institute, on Sunday, 30th September. Mr Ward, who was 64, died after a short illness. Mr. Ward was born near Winchester in 1909 and was educated at Peter Symonds School. In 1925 he joined Barnard and Carter of Winchester and Cheltenham, and subsequently served on the architectural staffs of the Essex, London and Surrey County Councils before returning to private practice. In 1936 he created his own practice, Ronald Ward and Partners, of which he was senior partner until five years ago, when he relinquished day-to-day responsi­ bilities to become Adviser to the partnership. At the outset of the War, Mr. Ward volunteered for the Corps of Royal Engineers and went to France with the B.E.F. He served in various spheres and on demobilisation in 1946 held the rank of Lt.-Colonel. After the war, he continued his association with his Regiment as a Lt.-Colonel member of the Institution of Royal Engineers. Mr. Ward had many interests in life. He was particularly associated with the City of London, being a Freeman of the City and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Horners of which he was Master in 1967/68. He was a Past President of the City Livery Club and a Past Master of the Guild of Freemen. He was also an author and, for several years, a regular contributor to the press. He was a director of the Abbey National Building Society, a member of the London West End Board of Phoenix Assurance Company and an underwriting Member of Lloyds. Mr. Ward first joined the Institute in 1937 as an Associate and became a Fellow in 1946. In 1956 he became a member of the Council and also chaired the General Purposes and Finance Committee. Three years later, in 1959, he became President, following a year of Presidency of his City Livery Club. The drive he brought to all his activities pervaded throughout the Institute during his term of office, and he was not averse to running the Journal itself when staff difficulties made this necessary. Following his term of office, Mr. Ward remained on the Council until 1972, when he resigned, "as I feel I've done enough interfering". In fact, Mr. Ward did very little interfering. Always available with advice when required, but never anxious to speak more than once on a topic, he will be remembered by all who knew him for his warmth and humour. We extend our deepest sympathy to his widow, step-daughter and his mother. SirHaving seen the letter on page 92 of your July issue I felt I should confirm that I am satisfied that there can only be a stated case in Scotland if the Arbiter so requests, or if the Court so agrees having been approached by either party but not otherwise. No clerk, of course, would take Counsel's Opinion except with the instruction and agreement of the Arbiter although he may well be the one to advise the Arbiter that he instruct such a course. Whilst it is not mandatory for the Arbiter to appoint a clerk at all it is indeed usual to do so in any case of any consequence and when a clerk is appointed it is usual that he be a solicitor. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian International Arbitration Journal Kluwer Law International
