The resignation follows mounting pressures on judges to leave the male-only club to preserve judicial impartiality.

A High Court judge was removed from a case due to perceived bias linked to his Garrick Club membership, highlighting concerns over the club's male-only policy.
Julian Flaux, the Chancellor of the High Court, resigned from the Garrick Club, becoming the fifth senior judge to do so following a membership leak.
The Garrick Club's refusal to admit women has drawn criticism from the legal community and public, questioning the impartiality of its member judges.
Legal professionals and activists are calling for more judges to resign from male-only clubs to ensure fairness and equality in the judiciary.
The judiciary's membership in exclusive clubs like the Garrick is seen as conflicting with the principles of a modern, diverse, and inclusive society.
