I’m deeply saddened to hear of Mr Galt's passing. He was not only an exceptional legal mind but also a generous and patient teacher. I will always be grateful for his guidance and encouragement during my studies. Thank you, Mr Galt for your time and kind words over the years.

Simon, Tash, Amanda, Carmen, Carl & Gary, my thoughts are with you all. I had the pleasure of spending time with Peter while he was in hospital recently. We chatted about all sorts of things, he told me he had achieved everything he wanted to in life and he was at peace if it was his time to go. It was a great catch up, he was sharp and like the Peter I remember from years ago, he was looking good and chatted easily about the things he had enjoyed in his life….all of you, Judi and the enjoyment he had throughout his professional career and the people he had taught over many decades. I hope you are all doing ok, take care and look after each other.
