Welsh speaker David Lloyd-Jones, an international, EU and public law barrister, and company law and corporate insolvency barrister Sir David Richards have been appointed to the Supreme Court

Both Lord Lloyd-Jones and Sir David have already retired but applied to the court after the mandatory retirement age for judges was raised to 75 years in March this year.

Lord Lloyd-Jones, who was born and brought up in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, was sworn in as a Justice this week. He is a former Chair of the Law Commission and has served as a High Court Judge, Lord Justice of Appeal and Justice of the Supreme Court from 2017 to January 2022, when he retired.

Sir David Richards will take Lady Arden’s position on the court, following her retirement in January. He is a former High Court Judge, Competition Appeal Tribunal chair and Lord Justice of Appeal. Sir David retired from the Court of Appeal last year.
