Description: Depicts Justice Minister Judith Collins reacting to filing of a High Court claim by David Bain which seeks a judicial review of her actions over the report by retired Canadian judge Ian Binnie on the Bain trials. David Bain alledged that she acted in bad faith and in a biased unreasonable predetermined manner. Collins continued to call the Binnie report 'unsafe' and 'flawed' and said compensation claims for Bain should not be based on the report (NBR 30 Jan 2013). David Bain was convicted of murdering five members of his Dunedin family in 1995 but that conviction was overturned after the Privy Council ordered a retrial in 2009. Bain has asked for compensation.
