Amanda Hennigan asks High Court for an injunction to stop disciplinary proceedings against her
She is one of a number people who have been suspended from adjudicating pending completion of the investigation. It followed complaints last July to the CLRG ethics committee.Her lawyers say the disciplinary process has been irredeemably prejudiced by certain CLRG public statements which “bordered on the hysterical” and predetermined that what happened was gross misconduct.
Ms Hennigan had explained to her counsel that this message was part of a normal exchange between herself and the other adjudicator about both their students taking part in competitions. Ms Hennigan said her student never received any favourable treatment. The allegations, which originally appeared anonymously online, included claims that certain adjudicators were offered inducements and sexual favours if certain competitors were marked better, counsel said.
