The Supreme Court said the High Court used the wrong legal approach when it refused to disqualify accountant Patrick McCann over his work for Kentford Securities Limited. In a judgment delivered on 30 November 2010, O’Donnell J. proposed that the matter be re-entered to consider a short disqualification and possible conditions. The judgment does not record a final disqualification order.
