Outgoing DPP asks for judicial review one month after report into handling of Bruce Lehrmann case was leaked to media
Why was the inquiry held?
In his letter, Drumgold accused police of aligning themselves with Lehrmann’s defence and called for a public inquiry, an allegation later found to be baseless. Sofronoff created significant controversy by handing his report to two selected journalists prematurely, on the condition it not be published until released formally by the government.Its contents were subsequently published in the media, prompting fury within the ACT government and leading Barr to allege a potential breach of the inquiries act and a denial of fairness to Drumgold.Drumgold’s application asks a court to conduct a judicial review of the Sofronoff findings.
