Michael McAuley, Barrister, Second Floor, Selborne Chambers
Michael McAuley has practised as a barrister since 1984. Prior to Michael’s admission to the Bar, he was Personal Assistant to the Deputy General Manager and Solicitor for the Government Insurance Office, and subsequently Commercial Lawyer. Following Michael’s admission to the Bar he has practised principally, but not exclusively, in personal injury law, including cases involving emergency worker posttraumatic stress disorder. Michael has also appeared from time to time in criminal matters and before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Michael appeared on behalf of the plaintiff in Day v Perisher Blue Pty Ltd [2005] NSWCA 110; [2005] 62 NSWLR 731, a major case on legal ethics. There, it was held that a pre-trial conference conducted by a legal practitioner acting on behalf of an insurer in which multiple witnesses attended and discussed amongst themselves the evidence which they intended to give at trial, seriously undermined the trial process, and was improper. Michael practices from Second Floor Selborne Chambers. Michael has been an Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame Sydney.
