Sir Clement Meacher Bailhache (2 November 1856 – 8 September 1924) was an English commercial lawyer and judge.

[2] He practised in commercial law on the south Wales circuit, his existing network in the legal profession enabling him to advance rapidly.

He soon attracted the attention of The City and he became in demand in London in the newly established Commercial Court.

[5] Bailhache was made KC in 1908 and appeared in a Commercial Court graced by the advocacy of Thomas Edward Scrutton and John Hamilton.

As a judge, he worked through his list briskly, often paying insufficient attention to the arguments of counsel and often, in consequence, giving rise to successful appeals.
