According to ABC News, 'Queensland has reached a financial and employment settlement with former chief magistrate Di Fingleton.'

Ms Fingleton had been seeking compensation and/or her old job back after the High Court found she was wrongly jailed for retaliating against a witness.

Queensland Attorney-General Linda Lavarch has announced the Government will make an ex-gratia payment of $475 000 to Ms Fingleton.

It will also appoint her as a magistrate in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast.
