Not quite an iGNOMEous end, just yet.
Outsider laments to report that his old mate and general bon vivant, financial services barrister, Noel Davis, has resigned his role with the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal (SCT).
Davis, a previous winner of the Super Review Lifetime Achievement Award, is well-known to many in the superannuation industry and elsewhere not just for the erudite determinations he handed down during his time with the SCT, but also because of his gregarious nature and his inevitable sartorial elegance.
Outsider well remembers Davis sitting on a panel during a national superannuation conference where, instead of displaying a photograph of the esteemed barrister the organisers displayed a photograph of a garden gnome.
Oh the uproar.
Some might also remember that Davis accepted his Super Review Lifetime Achievement Award by video link from a wine cellar somewhere in the south of France and was possibly testing the quality of the approximate wine.
It is Outsider’s understanding that Davis will continue to offer his legal services to those in need, but at other times he can be found either in the south of France, at Bowral or in effigy in a tree trunk between the 10th and 11th holes at Manly Golf Club wherein sits a garden gnome named Noel.
