16.01.2022 The GCDLA Committee was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of retired Southport Magistrate, Michael Hogan, on 30th June, 2020 after suffering an unexpected catastrophic stroke. Michael was appointed as a Magistrate on 20th July, 2007 after an extensive career as a solicitor and barrister. Michael first worked in Mt Isa and later Brisbane and spent time working for Legal Aid Queensland and ATSILS before going to the Bar. His practice at the Bar included primarily criminal ...law work, but also included industrial law, personal injuries, succession and commercial law as well as determining cases as a member of the Social Securities Appeal Tribunal. Michael also volunteered extensively at the Caxton Street Legal Service and managed a half-way house for the St Vincent de Paul Society assisting recovering alcoholics. Michael brought a special knowledge to the bench given these experiences when people with addiction and affected by homelessness and similar challenges were before the Court. Michael retired from the Bench on 13th October, 2017. He had remained active in retirement, and was, at the time of his death, planning and training to walk The Camino Trail (The Camino de Santiago, known in English as the Way of St. James). The GCDLA passes along, on behalf of all members, sincere and heartfelt condolences to Michael’s family. Michael’s funeral was held on 9th July, 2020 and his Wife, Cheryl, has provided a link to a memorial and the live streamed service: http://www.michaeljhogan.com.au/
