William McLeod Bill Wilson QC is a former Justice of the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. In 2010 he became the first New Zealand judge to resign after being accused of judicial misconduct. Wilson was subjected to the first report by the Judicial Conduct Commissioner which recommended a Judicial Conduct Panel be formed. This report of the Commissioner was prematurely released to the press and subsequent media attention forced Wilson’s resignation from the Supreme Court.
