Top NSW prosecutor Sally Dowling wins a major appeal, leading to the removal of Judge Penelope Wass from three high-profile cases after a bitter public feud sparked by a leaked juvenile case detail. The appeal court found Judge Wass’s repeated public criticisms and off-court comments — including her unusual parliamentary submissions calling for Dowling’s removal — undermined her impartiality. The judges concluded a reasonable person would question her fairness in Dowling’s cases, prompting the decision to recuse her. This dramatic legal showdown, ignited by a media leak, has now reshaped the courtroom dynamics in New South Wales.
