Day v Perisher Blue Pty Ltd (No 2)

The dispute in *Day v Perisher Blue Pty Ltd (No 2)* concerned the conduct of solicitors acting for the defendant, Perisher Blue Pty Ltd. The matter came before the Court of Appeal of New South Wales, comprising Sheller and McColl JJA and Windeyer J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the conduct of the solicitors, Geoffrey Robert Brookes and Michael Kevin Connelly, warranted a referral to the Legal Services Commissioner for investigation into potential professional misconduct.

The court's reasoning, as reflected in its orders, indicated a concern regarding the conduct of the solicitors in the proceedings. The court directed the Registrar of the Court of Appeal to refer its judgment, a previous judgment from 11 April 2005, and the appeal papers to the Legal Services Commissioner. This referral was for the purpose of investigating whether the Commissioner ought to initiate a complaint against either or both solicitors pursuant to the *Legal Profession Act*.
