Judge Gerald Price QC, a senior circuit judge in South Wales, has resigned following an investigation by the Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC)

Judge Gerald Price QC, a senior circuit judge in South Wales, has resigned following an investigation by the Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC).

He was subjected to a News of the World exposé on his private life last year. An OJC spokesperson says: “While the media reported a number of allegations against Judge Price, the judicial investigation only focused on those that had an impact on his role as a judge.

The investigation found that his actions brought the judiciary into disrepute, rendering his position untenable.” Judge Price resigned before the OJC investigation was concluded.
