First, the evidence is damning, the testimony of large numbers of victims appalling.

This man is supposed to be an expert in fiduciary law, which is all about how those in whom trust is reposed must not abuse their position.

Third, what do you do with his books? Even in England, everyone uses Meagher, Gummow and Lehane on Equity. He just published an idiosyncratic book on contract law. His is the leading work on evidence in Australia.

Don't cite them? Don't give to students?
