A planning law specialist at the Bar, he was heavily involved in the long-running Manchester Runway litigation. During his tenure as Recorder of Manchester he presided over many criminal cases, including sentencing in cases arising from Manchester riots, in respect of which he purported to set local sentencing guidelines which were later overturned by the Court of Appeal.
