Vale Stephen Lamy BA LLM
The Board of the Commercial Law Association of Australia (CLA) was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of its former colleague, Stephen Lamy.
Among his many achievements, Stephen served as President, Treasurer, Board Member, Chair of the Education Committee, and was a longstanding pillar of the Association.
Stephen joined the Board in 2002 and dedicated more than 20 years of service to the CLA. Throughout that time, he gave generously of his time, knowledge and support to his fellow Board members, the Executive and the wider membership.
As President, it was rare for a seminar or event to take place without Stephen being present to welcome guests and open proceedings. One of the highlights of his involvement with the Association was the international conference held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, in 2012, which he helped organise in close collaboration with Emeritus Professor John Carter and the Sabah Law Association.
Stephen's commitment to legal education and to mentoring the next generation of lawyers was well known to all who had the privilege of working with him through the Association.
He was a master of the quiet word, the thoughtful observation, the helpful suggestion and the steady, supportive presence. His wisdom, generosity and collegiality earned him the respect and affection of all who knew him.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to his wife Hedi and to his sons, Tom and Guy. Stephen's loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him and by the Association to which he contributed so much.
Vale, Stephen, and thank you for your outstanding service, friendship and commitment to the legal profession and the CLA.
