The judge who resigned as head of the national public inquiry into child abuse received a severance package worth about £90,000, the Home Office said last night.
Dame Justice Lowell Goddard was paid two months’ salary plus allowances, amounting to more than £80,000, plus the price of two business-class tickets back to New Zealand for her and her husband after she suddenly quit the inquiry in August.
The severance deal was approved by Amber Rudd, the home secretary.
