In Memoriam Announcement

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Greg Pynt on Sunday, 23 July 2023.

Greg Pynt was a co-founder and Board Member of the Australian College of Insurance Studies, a barrister and a mediator who had taught insurance law at the University of Western Australia since 1991. Greg authored Australian Insurance Law: A First Reference, now in its fourth edition, and he was the general editor of the Insurance Law Journal and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Western Australia.

He had strong ties to the Australian Insurance Law Association, where he was former National Board Member, WA State Committee Member and State President, AILA life Membership recipient and AILA Insurance Law Prize holder.

Greg led our Principles and Practice of General Insurance Law course at the University of Western Australia and the associated WA Sir Ninian Stephen Insurance Law Masterclass (Insurance Gangnam Style), which took place in Perth last week.

Greg was a highly respected authority in the insurance law community, a passionate teacher, and a wonderful colleague who was known for his sage counsel and sparkling wit. He will be greatly missed by his ACIS colleagues.

Our thoughts are with Greg’s family and friends.
