Charles Hall (judge)

Sir Charles Hall (1814–1883) was an English barrister and judge, who became Vice-Chancellor of England.

[1] In time Hall succeeded to the bulk of Duval's practice, and through his wife inherited much of his fortune; and lived for the rest of his life in Duval's house at 8 Bayswater Hill (now 150 Baywater Road, and not as sometimes supposed 8 Orme Square).

During the next twenty years he became the recognised leader of the junior chancery bar, and the first authority of his day on real property law.

Having been called to the bar in Michaelmas term 1838, he built up a large court practice, and his pupils were prominent in the following generation of equity lawyers.

He had four sons, two of whom survived him, the younger being Charles Hall the lawyer and politician, and four daughters.
