From 2018 to 2021, he was the Presiding Judge of Wales. In April 2022, he presided over Microsoft's £270 million competition case in which Microsoft encouraged customers to return unused licences in turn for a discount on Microsoft products; a Derbyshire-based company who bought and sold unused these licences said this stifled competition and was a violation of competition law. He married Sophie Victoria Seddon in 1992, with whom he has one son and three daughters. (en)
