THE £360,000-a-year judge who quit Britain’s child abuse inquiry will keep her £2,000-a-week grace and favour home.
Dame Lowell Goddard, 67, who quit on Thursday, could also get a £90,000 pay-off.
She was appointed in April 2015 after first Baroness Butler-Sloss quit a week into the job and then Dame Fiona Woolf left after little over a month.
Yet she heard no evidence into claims of abuse from the Church, Westminster and the judiciary.
She also spent more than 44 days in Australia and New Zealand on “inquiry business”.
Yet in that time she had just two meetings with officials from Australia’s Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse during 2015 and 2016.
As well as her pay, her £110,000 rent on a flat and her bills and driver were covered by taxpayers.
