ONE of Australia’s most eminent criminal barristers has paid tribute to both the efforts of Newcastle detectives and those of Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox at a Special Commission of Inquiry this morning.

Ian Lloyd QC was asked to review the 3000-page brief of evidence that was prepared in relation to allegations of sexual abuse cover-ups within the Catholic Church.

Mr Lloyd, a former NSW Crown prosecutor who has practised in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom and is a former judge of appeal in Fiji, said the brief was ‘‘as good as I’ve ever seen in many countries’’.

He complimented the methodologies used by detectives and said the work of Detective Fox showed empathy and understanding of the trauma victims suffered.

The Special Commission of Inquiry is examining claims by Detective Fox that the strike force set up to investigate the allegations was a sham.

Detective Fox has claimed that he was ordered off the investigation.

The inquiry continues.
