NSW Court of Appeal ruled the conspiracy case involving former Prime Minister Whitlam and three Labor Cabinet members should be expedited with Leo released from other duties to sit continuously. Leo had disqualified himself from private prosecution by Danny Sankey accusing a conspiracy to deceive Sir John Kerr over a 4 billion overseas loan. Sankey then overran the action in Supreme Court after Leo’s disqualification, and Leo’s appeal failed. The court found Leo had a part heard matter and rejected bias claims over defamation proceedings by Leo against the Sydney Morning Herald. Leo had continued hearing the case for months after starting the defamation suit.
