High Court judge Audrey Campbell-Moffat has informed the judiciary that she will take early retirement in August next year.

According to the judiciary, Campbell-Moffat had originally opted to extend her retirement age to 70.

But in August this year, she informed the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal that she would take voluntary early retirement in accordance with the Pension Benefits (Judicial Officers) Ordinance.

Earlier this week, the Court of Final Appeal overturned a ruling Campbell-Moffat made in October last year.

It said she was wrong to permanently stay the drug trafficking trial of a man from Brazil after applying incorrect legal principles to exclude some text messages from the suspect’s phone from the evidence.
