"Our client says that if any conduct of his has caused offence, that result was inadvertent and unintended and he apologises for any offence caused."
Among the allegations reported by the Herald, Mr Heydon inappropriately touched women at functions and took young associates back to his chambers and his accommodation where he harassed them.* A human resources policy relevant to the personal staff of justices* A support person for associates, who can act as a conduit to the chief executive and principal registrar
* Clarification that confidentiality requirements for associates relate only to the work of the courtJustice Kiefel said the court had taken a close look at its policies and processes.Justice Heydon was on the bench from 2003 to 2013 and led a royal commission into union misconduct.

Their accounts of their experiences at the time have been believed. I have appreciated the opportunity to talk with a number of the women about their experiences and to apologise to them in person. I have also valued their insights and suggestions for change that they have shared with the Court.”\n\nMr Heydon strongly denied the allegations through a statement from his lawyers.\n'In respect of the confidential inquiry and its subsequent confidential report, any allegation of predatory behaviour or breaches of the law is categorically denied by our client,' the statement said.\n\n'Our client says that if any conduct of his has caused offence, that result was inadvertent and unintended, and he apologises for any offence caused.\n'We have asked the High Court to convey that directly to the associate complainants.'\n Waiting for Abbott, Bolt, Murray, Jones, Pahini, Credlin and Kenny to jump to his defence.
