Lord Phillips retirement

Lord Phillips, President of the Supreme Court, has today announced that he will retire as the most senior judge in the UK at the end of this legal year.

Lord Phillips says: “I have greatly enjoyed the challenge of presiding over the new Supreme Court and was tempted to continue right up to my retirement age in January 2013. I have decided, however, that it makes more sense to go at the end of the legal year, so that I can make an orderly hand-over to my successor in the course of the summer vacation.”
