Former Melbourne barrister Norman O’Bryan pleaded guilty on Friday to attempting to defraud class action claimants, many of whom were retirees, out of millions. The court heard he inflated legal fees using fake invoices while representing clients in the Banksia Securities case, which collapsed, wiping out $100 million in investments. O’Bryan's actions have significantly impacted the claimants’ mental health.
