Overview

David Grant Davis (12 January 1902 – 2 March 1995) was a New Zealand cricketer and judge. Cricket career Davis played three matches of first-class cricket for Hawke's Bay in 1920–21. They were Hawke's Bay's last three matches as a first-class team. In the second match, against Wellington, a few days before Davis's 19th birthday, Hawke's Bay followed on 286 runs in arrears and were 167 for 7 in their second innings when Davis went to the wicket. He hit 61 in half an hour, at one point hitting nine boundaries in a little over ten minutes. Nevertheless, Hawke's Bay lost by an innings and 17 runs. He continued to play for Hawke's Bay and was also secretary of the Hawke's Bay Cricket Association until he moved to Gisborne in 1927. Legal career Davis was educated at Wanganui Collegiate School before becoming a law clerk in 1920. He qualified as a solicitor and practised in Waitara and Wanganui. He was appointed as a judge of the Māori Land Court in 1961.

Notable quotes

“Project managers who believe that closing down a project will wreck their careers are tempted to carry on in the hope they will have a slight chance of saving their reputations. Both courses carry the risk of disaster for those responsible for a project, but one—abandonment—is often far better for the company.”
— "New Projects: Beware of False Economies", published in (March 1985)
“If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.”
— David Davis MP speech "Europe: It's Time To Decide" (19 November 2012)
“There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.”
— David Davis brushes off Brexit retaliation fears (10 October 2016)
“Nobody has ever pretended that this will be easy. I have always said that this negotiation will be tough, complex and, at times, confrontational.”
— During his statement on the progress of EU exit negotiations made in the House of Commons (5 September 2017).
“[On concerns over reputed rising authoritarianism in the UK] We're never going to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, despite all the waffling on about it. It's not going to happen. So there’s always that backstop.”
— From an interview, as quoted in "David Davis: 'The right to demonstrate includes the right to disrupt'" New Statesman (27 May 2023)
