The Simon Turner Case Just Took A Dramatic Turn | The West Report

BHP has dropped its case against Michael West Media, but the questions are only getting bigger. This week, Simon Turner returns to court against BHP and MinterEllison as fresh allegations emerge about conflicts of interest, legal representation and the handling of his case after a decade-long fight for compensation. Michael West examines claims that Turner's entire legal file was passed to MinterEllison without his knowledge, why BHP is accused of "playing both sides", and what the case says about corporate power, the legal system and press freedom in Australia.
