Just telling part of the story not the full facts.
Mr Sofronoff`s claims against Drumgold were largely upheld by Justice Kaye.
In short Drumgold was an ACT leftie disaster!

From the Australian
Former judge Walter Sofronoff’s conduct during an inquiry into the behaviour of former ACT chief prosecutor Shane Drumgold while prosecuting Bruce Lehrmann gave rise to “a reasonable apprehension of bias”, a judge has found.
Acting Justice Stephen Kaye on Monday said Mr Sofronoff may have been “influenced” by the views of The Australian’s columnist Janet Albrechtsen through his communications with her while conducting the inquiry that ended Mr Drumgold’s career.
However, he upheld almost all the findings in Mr Sofronoff’s report of serious misconduct by Mr Drumgold that the former prosecutor had claimed were unsound.
The findings Justice Kaye upheld included: that Mr Drumgold betrayed the trust of his junior staff members, directed a junior lawyer to make a misleading affidavit, lied to ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum and failed in his duty to advise TV presenter Lisa Wilkinson against giving a Logies speech that would consequently delay the trial.
He also upheld Mr Sofronoff’s findings that Mr Drumgold “deliberately advanced a false claim of legal professional privilege” and “tried to use dishonest means to prevent a person he was prosecuting from lawfully obtaining material”.
Justice Kaye ruled Mr Sofronoff’s finding that Mr Drumgold displayed “grossly unethical” conduct in his cross-examination of Senator Linda Reynolds was “legally unreasonable” and upheld Mr Drumgold’s claim.
