The President and members
of the Victorian Bar extend
deepest sympathy to the
family of John (Jack) Gaffney.
From Broken Hill, where he was a "lad messenger"
for the Railways, and played
football with Broken Hill YCW and South Broken
Hill, Jack came to Melbourne
to the Victorian Crown
Law Department (1947-67).
He worked in the Public
Solicitor's Office, the Titles
Office and the Local Government
Department, studying Law
part-time. He played football
for Fitzroy in the VFL; coached Prahran in the VFA; and was on the VFL Tribunal. He was admitted
to practice in 1967 and was
a Partner in Le Grand
Randles Gaffney & Co; then
came to the Bar in 1978. He was Supreme Court
Registrar of Criminal Appeals;
a Master; and Registrar of
the Court of Appeal. In
retirement, he was a Mediator
at the Legal Profession Tribunal.
