He spent three years in Bermuda, from 1984 to 1987, as a partner in a firm of solicitors, after accompanying his ill mother to sunnier climes for her health.

1987

He returned to the UK after her death, and became a Circuit Judge at the Old Bailey in July 1987.

1989

He presided at the trial of a Canadian artist Rick Gibson and art gallery director Peter Sylveire in 1989, who were found guilty of outraging public decency and fined for making and exhibiting earrings made from human foetuses.

Smedley was also a Deputy Senior Judge of the Sovereign Base Areas of Cyprus from 1989, and then a Senior Judge from 1991 to 1995, when he became a High Court judge.

He received the customary knighthood, and was assigned to the Queen's Bench Division.

In 1992, he was the trial judge in charge of the prosecution of three directors of Matrix Churchill for exporting weapons-making machine tools to Iraq.

He decided that Public Interest Immunity did not apply to documents which showed that the John Major's government had known about the export, despite claims by the government that releasing the documents could result in "unquantifiable damage".
