Jeffrey Allan Miles AO (20 March 1935 – 11 February 2019) was an Australian author and jurist.
In 2005 he conducted a judicial review[1] into the fitness to be tried of David Eastman who had been convicted of murdering Australian policeman Colin Winchester.
In 2008, he was elected President of the Australian Capital Territory Branch of the International Commission of Jurists.
[7] Miles dealt with a claim for compensation for injuries suffered by a female complainant slipping on the floor at a supermarket.
The complainant, aged 58, alleged that she had been deprived from potentially earning an income as a prostitute at a brothel.
Eastman had been sentenced to life imprisonment for the shooting of Colin Winchester, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, outside his Canberra home in 1989.
After hearing evidence at the inquiry for over two years, Miles presented his report to the Australian Capital Territory Government.
[9][10][11] On 10 June 1994, he was made an Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia for "service to the law and the community".
