Denise and Mike are currently attending the CPE East West Professional Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Today they attended talks by The Hon Frank Marks, Solicitor and Retired (but still acting) Judge of the Industrial Relations Commission, NSW, and Lorenzo Boccabella, Barrister-at-Law.
The Hon Frank Marks presented a talk on “Professional misconduct of lawyers and medical practitioners: a comparative approach of the courts and tribunals”. Frank’s talk was stimulating and sobering in respect of the behaviour which is expected of medical and legal practitioners and the consequences of any breach of such standards. Frank covered the legal bases for considering professional misconduct and incompetence and also provided examples which were both entertaining and confronting.
Lorenzo’s topic was “Drugs in sport – the saga of Sharapova and the banning of Dr Elena Dorofeyev”. An interesting subject, especially in light of the upcoming Olympics in Rio and the debate over whether Russian athletes should be permitted to compete.
