[Former Chief Justice] Bathurst still needs to complete his final report, which [NSW AG] Daley on Monday said he believed would take “weeks, not months”.
Within that report, Bathurst could refer the matter to the court of criminal appeal to assess whether the convictions should be quashed.
Daley explained it is up to Folbigg’s legal team to initiate proceedings to claim compensation after Bathurst has finalised his report and if the matter was then referred to the criminal appeals court.
“If that was to happen, it would be open to Ms Folbigg to initiate civil proceedings against the state of NSW for compensation,” Daley said.
