Lord Neuberger said he had been considering his position as chair of legal advisory board.

He said: “I have now concluded that I should go now, because it is undesirable that focus on my position as a non-permanent judge in Hong Kong should take away, or distract, from the critical and impactful work of the high-level panel’s legal experts.

On Monday , he was part of the panel on Hong Kong's court of final appeal which unanimously dismissed a bid by Jimmy Lai and six other pro-democracy activists to overturn their convictions.
