Sir Henry Arthur Pears Fisher (20 January 1918 – 10 April 2005) was an English lawyer who served as a judge of the High Court of England and Wales and as President of Wolfson College, Oxford.
Between 1961 and 1966 he held the office of Estates Bursar, at a time when he was working as a silk and regularly appearing in court and giving advice.
In July 1968 he was the junior member in a Court of Appeal decision that quashed the conviction for obscenity entered against the publishers of Last Exit to Brooklyn.
He moved to the City of London and became a director of J. Henry Schroder Wagg & Co under the chairmanship of his friend Gordon Richardson (later Governor of the Bank of England).
In the Confait inquiry (1975–77) Fisher was asked by the Crown to examine a gravely flawed prosecution which had resulted in the conviction of three young men for arson, murder and manslaughter.
In the ensuing investigation, Fisher concluded that there had been a blatant disregard of the Judges' Rules (although his report controversially supported some of the quashed convictions).
The following year his report recommended the adoption of a new constitution which he had drafted, including the creation of a new governing council and effective disciplinary procedures.
