Lord Richards is to retire from the UK Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in June next year.
His retirement brings to an end a 52-year career in law spanning company law and corporate insolvency, as well as time spent as a judge at both the High Court and Court of Appeal in England and Wales, before reaching the UK Supreme Court in 2022.
He studied law at Trinity College, Cambridge, and then called to the Bar in 1974, taking silk in 1992.
In a statement, Lord Richards said: “It is a great privilege to serve as a Supreme Court justice and to take part in the important and challenging work of the court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
“I have been fortunate to do so, working alongside outstanding colleagues and dedicated staff, whose company I will greatly miss when I retire.”
