Biography

Philip Ruttley (b. Philippe Grin[4]) was born in Zürich in 1954[1] and is descended from the Huguenot Abolitionist Guillaume de Félice and 18th century philosopher Fortunato de Felice.[1] He is also related to Mme de Staël, the 19th century literary figure, and Henri Guisan, the commander of the Swiss armed forces during WWII. He was educated at Harrow School in London,[1] Oxford University (where he was an entrance History scholar, graduating with first class honours in 1976), University of Florence and City University[5] (where he obtained a diploma in Law). He was called to the English Bar in 1980[6] (Inner Temple) and admitted as a solicitor in 1992.[5] After practising EC law in London and Brussels, he served as a United Nations legal advisor in Rome,[7] and then as an EC Advisor to the UK Government's Treasury Solicitor's Department.

He has appeared in many cases before the European Court of Justice and has been involved in several WTO dispute settlement proceedings.[citation needed]

In 2008, Ruttley acted for the consumer group "Which?" in the first ever[8] European consumer group action against a cartel. A defendant, JJB Sports[9] agreed to pay compensation for its role in price-fixing, as investigated by the UK Government's Office of Fair Trading.[10] The case resulted in fines of up to £17m[11] for the cartel.

He has published widely on EC and World Trade Organization issues. He was secretary and founder of the European Maritime Law Organization, and was also secretary of the World Trade Law Association[12][13] from 1997 to 2003.
