Facts: A barrister was convicted of 4 sexual assault offences against the complainant (C). The Council of NSW Bar Association tried to strike him off by showing evidence of his conduct (not just conviction); they wanted to adduce transcripts of cross-examination (CE) from previous criminal proceedings as an exception to hearsay rule under s 64 Evidence Act. They issued notice under s 67.
