Top silk Norman O’Bryan avoids jail for attempted overcharging fraud

Former Melbourne barrister Norman O'Bryan, convicted of attempting to defraud Banksia Securities class-action claimants, received a four-year community corrections order Thursday instead of jail time. The one-time Queen's Counsel used fake invoices to inflate legal fees on the 2017 settlement worth $64 million. O'Bryan was struck off the legal practice roll in 2020 after the fraud was discovered.
