Brian passed away peacefully on 8 April, 2026. Loved father of Kathryn, Megan and Jason, and proud grandfather to his many grandchildren.

Brian dedicated his life to the law as a Dean and Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, a leading voice in labour law, and an advocate for social justice.

So long old friend.
Your razor-sharp wit and intellectual musings were a joy to share and no better company than yours was to be found on any golf course.
Thanks for all the laughs.
Sincere condolences to family.
