Judge called for questioning over $260m failure ANTHONY KLAN, The Australian 31 January 2017
"A Queensland Supreme Court judge is among 19 people connected to the failed $260 million Equititrust finance company who will face public examinations in the Federal Court in Brisbane."
"Former Equititrust director and now justice David Jackson, along with the disgraced founder of the company Mark McIvor and his ex-wife, lawyer Stacey Blythe Turner, are among those called to give evidence by the company’s liquidators. Justice Jackson, then a QC, was a director of Equititrust from July 28, 2011, to October 17, 2011, three days before Australian Federal Police raided the company’s offices at Chevron Island, taking with them computers, boxes of documents and other records. The AFP raided Mr McIvor’s house at the same time." "Justice Jackson was appointed judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland in October 2012." '[3]
