Tasmanian lawyers respond to Supreme Court allegations, call for resignation
Tasmanian Women Lawyers has condemned the culture of secrecy that exists within the judiciary and has called for more information to be made available about a photograph of a Supreme Court judge embracing a younger court employee.
The Supreme Court of Tasmania has confirmed that it will be investigating Justice Gregory Geason after he was caught on camera embracing a young court employee following the state’s Opening of the Legal Year Dinner. While this is a welcome move, Tasmanian Women Lawyers (TWL) said the details are not transparent.
The photograph was taken at a nightclub in Hobart at the end of January and had prompted an investigation from Chief Justice Alan Blow. The employee did not make a complaint but has been given information about her options and offered support.
