- Court
- High Court
Given the exceptional complexity of the consolidated proceedings and the interests of justice, the court exercised its discretion to permit Mr Hampton to act as Ms Sisson's McKenzie Friend despite his status as a potential witness, but limited his role to non‑speaking assistance (sitting beside, taking notes, advising and proposing questions/submissions) and prohibited him from addressing the Court or asking questions; the decision is not to be treated as a precedent.
