Summary
When he graduated with a First Class Honours degree and Doctorate in Law from the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, it took only a short time in practice as a barrister to convince Rob Moodie that legal practice was not for him. Then, after many years spent farming, supporters of Police Superintendent Alec Waugh, who had been inadequately defended and wrongfully convicted of expense claim fraud, persuaded 'Farmer Bob' to look into his case. Dr Moodie discusses in this book the successful Waugh Royal Prerogative Petition and then a myriad of other miscarriage of justice cases that show how a combination of systemic justice system failings, dishonest officials, incompetent lawyers and/or bumbling judges, reduce our concept of Justice to a mirage
