ROYAL COMMISSIONS AND INQUIRIES

Our long and extensive experience in Royal Commissions and inquiries means we bring an impressive corporate memory to bear on the management of any new project.

The Australian Government Solicitor provided the bulk of legal services for the Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry, Australia’s first national review of the industry’s conduct and practices.

We also supported the HIH Royal Commission, from its inception in 2001 through to overseeing the closing down of operations.

Recent AGS experience in this area includes:

  • coronial inquiries into deaths arising from the HMAS Westralia fire
  • assisting with the Department of Defence F-111 Deseal/Reseal Board of Inquiry
  • acting as solicitor assisting the Australian Broadcasting Authority in its cash-for-comment inquiry into agreements entered into by presenters from radio station 2UE
  • assisting the Bureau of Meteorology in the coronial inquiry into deaths arising out of the 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race
  • acting for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority between 1998 and 2000 in a coronial inquest into the Thredbo disaster
  • HIH Royal Commission
  • Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry
  • Oil-for-Food Inquiry.
