Interlocutory rulings in Harold Brady's appeal from the GLC Disciplinary Committee, which had struck him off the Roll and ordered restitution of $111,380,364.62 plus interest (with original costs of $50,000 to the FCJ and $30,000 to the GLC). The Court of Appeal held that fresh evidence on appeal requires leave under the Ladd v Marshall principles even though the appeal is by way of rehearing. It found the proposed bias evidence (affidavits of Chong and Giaimo) not credible and contradicted by documentary evidence, and the forensic audit report not credible, available at the time of the Committee hearing, and unlikely to have changed the outcome given Brady's repeated admissions that he owed the money. The applications to adduce fresh evidence, to amend the grounds of appeal, and for a stay of execution were all refused. No express finding of dishonesty was made in this decision; it concerns procedural applications only.
