Lloyd Rayney argues he is fit to practise law: Perth tribunal an hour ago - KATE CAMPBELLAAP FORMER Perth barrister Lloyd Rayney was aware he was breaking the law when he recorded his estranged wife’s private phone calls and disposed of potential evidence, a lawyer has argued in a WA tribunal. A three-day hearing to determine whether Mr Rayney is a fit and proper person to practise as a lawyer started in the State Administrative Tribunal on Tuesday. Mr Rayney is challenging the Legal Practice Board’s decision to cancel his certificate on the basis that he arranged the installation of phone interception equipment at his home shortly before Corryn Rayney was murdered in August 2007. Mr Rayney was acquitted in 2012 of his wife’s murder. Earlier this year he was acquitted in the District Court of illegally intercepting the home telephone to record his wife’s calls after the judge found he had no case to answer midway through a trial. Martin Cuerden, lawyer for the Legal Practice Board, said the SAT should find that Mr Rayney knew it was an offence to record his wife’s private conversations with The board rejected Mr Rayney’s claim that he arranged for a listening device to be installed to record conversation he was a part of, he said. Mr Cuerden said Mr Rayney disposed of two dictaphones he knew were covered by a search warrant — after the execution of the warrant and after police had named him the “prime” and “only” suspect in his wife’s death, which made the prospect of criminal proceedings reasonably foreseeable. He also said Mr Rayney had shown a lack of candour with the board. The lawyer said it was common ground between the parties that Mr Rayney had arranged for the device to be installed but what was in contention was his purpose for doing so and the timing of it — whether it was before or after his wife went on a trip to Melbourne with their daughters. Mr Cuerden said despite the District Court acquittal, the tribunal could still find against Mr Rayney because it had a different purpose and there was a different standard of proof, meaning the tribunal had to be satisfied on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond a reasonable doubt. Mr Rayney, who is vigorously defending himself, is set to give evidence later in the hearing, which will be the first time he has testified in a public courtroom about any of the allegations levelled at him since his wife’s murder. He has submitted a 170-page statement as part of his case. The board told the tribunal on Tuesday it was unable to serve a summons on its main witness, Timothy Pearson — the man who installed the device for Mr Rayney — to give evidence. The tribunal agreed to accept a bundle of five lever-arch files of Mr Pearson’s witness statements, affidavits and transcripts of his evidence despite Mr Rayney’s defence team strongly objecting to the “extraordinarily unusual” request. Mr Rayney’s lawyer Martin Bennett said his client was greatly disadvantaged by Mr Pearson’s absence and accused the board of trying to prove its case in a “piecemeal” and “mishmash” manner. Mr Cuerden rejected these assertions. “We greatly desire to discuss matters with Mr Pearson. We’re hampered by his absence.” he said. Mr Bennett also accused the board of trying to “go behind” the District Court acquittal. The hearing, before SAT president Justice Jeremy Curthoys and members Maurice Spillane and Patric de Villiers, continues. Tell the community whats on your mind
