Justice Kerri Mellifont

A former Queensland prosecutor has had his name struck from the roll after committing several drug offences, despite a judge finding the crimes were linked to post-traumatic stress disorder he developed from exposure to child exploitation material at work. 

Law firm HWL Ebsworth has defeated a Brisbane property developer’s appeal of a ruling that found the firm did not owe the former client damages for its negligence in failing to properly follow instructions on a contract of sale for large block of units.
