He served in Fiji as Solicitor General from 1948 to 1951,[3] and as Attorney General from 1949 to 1956[4] (his tenure in these two offices evidently overlapped).
Later he was Chief Justice of Zambia from 1969 to 1975. He went on to serve two terms as a Judge of the Botswana Court of Appeal (1973 to 1979, and 1988 to 1991).
He died in Brazil at the home of his son. He also had a daughter there.[5]
