Educated at St Paul's School, London, Roth read history at New College, Oxford, and obtained the degree of LLM from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1977.[2]
Career
Roth was a member of Monckton Chambers, a set of barristers' chambers specialising in commercial and competition law, located in Gray's Inn and founded by Walter Monckton, 1st Viscount Monckton of Brenchley.[3] He was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 1977 and elected a Bencher in 2008.[4] He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1997,[5] a deputy judge of the High Court from 2008 to 2009, and judge of the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) in 2009.[1]
He received his customary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in February 2010.[6]
In 2013, Roth was appointed President of the Competition Appeal Tribunal. He retired from the position in 2021.[7][2]
He was a visiting professor at King's College London from 2003 to 2009.[8]
Personal life
In 2010, Roth married Tessa Margaret Buchanan. He has one daughter, one step-son and one step-daughter.[2]
On New Year's Day 2017, Roth's Knight Bachelor and insignia medal were stolen from his home in Primrose Hill. The burglar also stole a family heirloom, bank cards, car keys and jewellery. A man was arrested but later acquitted at trial due to lack of evidence. The items, including the original insignia medal, have never been recovered.[9]
