Embattled Supreme Court judge Bill Wilson is reported to seek a judicial review of the Judicial Conduct commissioner's revelations against him following a preliminary investigation of three complaints concerning the judge's conduct.

Wilson's move emerged following acting Attorney-General Judith Collins announcement that the government would hire a Judicial Conduct Panel to initiate a thorough look into the complaints.

Justice Winkelmann has been into balancing a multitude of complex pre-trial arguments for more than a year, including many media challenges to an array of suppression orders - in the Urewera 18 "terrorism" raids affair.

Till the judge's judicial review application is released in the High Court, no further consideration of the complaints will be witnessed.

Wilson's lawyer, Colin Carruthers QC, posts that the High Court will be urged to annul the decision, by Commissioner Sir David Gascoigne, to recommend that the Judicial Conduct Panel should be formed.

Gascoigne initiated the investigation after learning three charges against Wilson. They pointed on whether the judge was financially beholden to his friend and business partner, Alan Galbraith QC, when Galbraith appeared before him for a trail in the Court of Appeal in 2007.

In addition, another big issue posted is whether the way Wilson the disclosed the nature of his business relationship with Galbraith was suffice.
