Apple U.K.'s initial apology attempted to turn the court ruling on its head, a stunt greeted with scorn by Sir Robin, who singled out the company's "lack of integrity" in failing to comply with the order.
According to the report, ex-judges in the U.K. are indeed permitted to work for the very same companies they once presided over in court, assuming the litigation in question falls outside of that country's borders - as it does in this case.
