- FAMC10/2016
Leave to appeal was granted on the single, important legal question whether pre-office payments that produce or sustain a favourable disposition towards another person can constitute the conduct element of misconduct in public office; leave was refused on all other grounds because it was not reasonably arguable that the identity of the ultimate offeror is an essential element of a s4(1) POBO conspiracy, the trial judge’s factual finding of voluntariness and lawful admission of the uncautioned ICAC statement stood, and any legal error on Count 5 did not affect the separate Count 7 convictions.
