The first President of the Supreme Court of the UK is expected to take up two senior judicial roles in international courts following his retirement this autumn. Lord Phillips announced last October that he will retire on 30 September 2012.
The court was established by His Highness The Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani in 2009 to provide a specialist court with international expertise in dispute resolution.
Lord Phillips has also been recommended by Hong Kong’s Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission for the role of non-permanent judge of the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong, after his retirement from the Supreme Court. Lord Phillips’ appointment is expected to be referred to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council for endorsement shortly.
