I think this is article is subscriber only so I've summarised -
The lawyer who represented Brett Cowan has left the law firm amid allegations of theft. He used his mistress ( his clerk )to help steal money from Bosscher Lawyers and deposit into accounts for him. $160 000 in total.
Documents were filed in the Supreme Court yesterday claiming the pair created false invoices for clients.
A civil hearing is happening today.
His clerk was sacked the same day as him. She was due to be admitted as a practising lawyer in October.
He has also handed in his practising certificate.
Text messages and emails found detailing their 'relations' in his office and tracing the money to accounts of both.
There was approx $11 000 deposited into an account in her name ( Ms Larcombe- Weate )
Explains his sudden departure from the firm.
In a nutshell; yup.
Thanks for your post, wwgy.
