KEY POINTS:
On 22 October 2005, the New Zealand Herald published in its print edition and online an article titled "Dangerous Liaisions with Clients".
Some readers may have understood the article to have conveyed that Mr Defteros is a member of Melbourne's criminal underworld and that he is unfit to be a solicitor.
The New Zealand Herald accepts that there is no foundation for any such meanings, and apologises to Mr Defteros.
