Dr Tony Ellis is a leading New Zealand and International Human Rights lawyer whose work has covered public and criminal law and is well know for compensation cases including prisoner’s rights including abuses and deaths while in custody.
I met Tony some years ago when making an episode of The Investigator which looked at the case of a 15 year old girl who had wrongly been convicted of assault who tried to get her case heard on Appeal. The Appeal Court Judges refused her request without giving it proper court hearing and she became one a group of such cases which Tony took to the Privy Council in London, who declared that the Appeal Court Judges had acted illegally … but I’ll let him tell you about what happened next along with some of the other important cases he has argued.
I know there are a lot of calls on subscription dollars and that times are tough for a lot of people . But if you can afford $9 a month ( including GST) I would appreciate it if you would consider becoming a Paid Subscriber and help me give a voice to those who have none. All subscription money, by the way, goes to meet the costs of production.
And thank you again to my paid subscribers for your support. It is much appreciated.
