Di Gilcrist-Humphrey, Eugene McGee hit-run case victim widow, attacks Attorney General John Rau's lack of 'courtesy and respect' Lawyer Eugene McGee outside the Adelaide Magistrates Court. Ian Humphrey was killed in a collision with a car driven by lawyer Eugene McGee. The board investigating hit-run lawyer Eugene McGee will not release its findings publicly, prompting the widow of his victim to accuse it of "cowardice." Di Gilcrist, widow of Ian Humphrey, in Gawler. THE widow of a high profile hit-and-run victim has attacked the state's Attorney-General over claims he failed to assure her a new legal crackdown prompted by the Eugene McGee case will guarantee other families get justice. In an outspoken attack, Di Gilcrist-Humphrey, whose husband Ian Humphrey was killed almost a decade ago, accused John Rau of a lack of "courtesy or respect." She suggested to MPs that Mr Rau had failed to brief her on new legislation regulating the legal profession and what it meant for her family. Mr Rau last night argued the changes to "disciplinary procedures" would help ensure the case involving her husband would not be repeated. In a statement read out in Parliament by independent MLC John Darley, during debate on the Legal Practitioners Amendment Bill, Ms Gilcrist-Humphrey was critical of Mr Rau's actions and said she had not heard from him in two years. More: New push to have McGee punished "In 2011, (Mr) Rau personally contacted me to advise that he was unable to take any action regarding the continued registration of lawyer Eugene McGee after the Legal Practitioners Conduct Board determined that Mr McGee's actions ... could not be determined to be 'unprofessional conduct'," she said. At the time of informing of his chosen inaction, Attorney Rau promised that it was his intention to address the loopholes in the system by reviewing and revising the structure and function of the Legal Practitioners Conduct Board. I have not heard from Attorney Rau or been provided with any update on the proposed changes since 2011. She added: "Despite the fact that my husband's death has been a contributing factor to the drafting of the Legal Practitioners Amendment Bill, Attorney Rau has not had the courtesy or respect to discuss this Bill, and what it means for me and my family."

The sweeping changes, which also involve axing of the ­Legal Practitioners Conduct Board, are largely a result of outrage over the McGee case. Mr Rau has said the new laws are aimed to reinstate intended to renew public confidence in the system following the lengthy saga involving McGee., who escaped disciplinary action from the state's current Legal Practitioners Board. McGee was driving a car that hit and killed cyclist Ian Humphrey in November 2003 on Kapunda Rd. He fled the scene, but was arrested several hours later and subsequently charged with causing death by dangerous driving. He was ultimately found guilty of driving without due care, lost his licence and was fined $3100. Ms Gilcrist-Humphrey pursued Mr McGee through the Legal Practitioners Conduct Board, seeking to have him deregistered. However, the board refused to do so , saying his conduct related to his personal affairs. Mr Rau said: "I can assure Ms Gilchrist that the overhaul to disciplinary procedures for the legal profession will help ensure the issues that she raised with me from the outset are not repeated." Opposition justice spokesman Stephen Wade said the Liberal Party welcomed the passing of the reform to new law but it served as a reminder that Mr Humphrey's family had still been denied justice. "The Attorney has consistently refused calls by Senator (Nick) Xenophon, by former attorney-general and current Speaker Michael Atkinson, and the Opposition to refer the McGee case to the Legal Practitioners' Disciplinary Tribunal," he said. He then brought to this place a Bill which sought to remove all consumers from the process of reviewing lawyers' conduct. Mr Wade said it was through Liberal Party amendments, agreed to in the Upper House, that would mean the Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner would not have to be a lawyer and that one third of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal positions were saved for non-lawyers to ensure the community had a say over legal standards. Mr Rau dismissed the opposition's claims. "As for the allegations by the Liberals, this is utter hypocrisy as amendments by Mr Wade would have allowed dodgy lawyers the right to silence, rendering the laws useless," he added.
