Appalling name supression decision
A criminal defence lawyer did the following:
- took a boxing match too far with his son in April 2022, striking him repeatedly after knocking him down, despite the boy’s pleas to his dad to stop
- removed his son from hospital against medical advice
- delayed the case for four years by ignoring timetabling for submissions
- Avoided summons
- Filed numerous meritless pre-trial applications
- showed no remorse according to the judge
Yet despite all that, he got permanent name suppression.
