Abstract
The High Court's recent decision to strike down criminal convictions against former Queensland chief magistrate, Di Fingleton, because by statute she was entitled to immunity from prosecution has excited much public debate. As the Dean of Law at Sydney University, Professor Ron McCallum, said in The Australian recently, not even the Prime Minister enjoys immunity from criminal liability. It is a fair question: why should those in charge of our courts enjoy a privilege the rest of the community is denied?
