Molloy was admitted in the Supreme Court of New Zealand (as it then was) as a Barrister and Solicitor in Auckland in 1967. He commenced practice as a Barrister sole in 1969. His practice has been largely in the areas of banking law, domestic and international income and capital taxation, goods and services tax, partnership law, property law, trusts and wills. He has been active in establishing, in the taxation area, the principles of administrative law and judicial review, appearing as counsel in several important cases before the superior courts of New Zealand. For many years Molloy was part-time lecturer at the University of Auckland Law School in the Law of Trusts, Wills and Succession and was, for ten years, assessor and moderator in those subjects for all the University Law Schools in New Zealand. He has published widely, most notably, Molloy on Income Tax (1976) and, with PRH Webb, The Law of Partnership in New Zealand (1998). In 1977, Molloy was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws (LL.D) by Auckland University in recognition of his "contributions of special excellence to legal scholarship". In 1984, he was elevated to the rank of Queen's Counsel. Molloy has also practised in Canon law as counsel appointed by the Catholic Bishop of Auckland in the Ecclesiastical Courts of the Catholic Church.[1][2] Molloy is currently co-editor of Trusts and Trustees.
Wineboxedit
In 1994, Molloy was appointed as taxation adviser to Counsel assisting the Winebox Inquiry. His appointment drew protests from some of the parties and in early 1995 the Commissioner Sir Ronald Davison terminated his appointment. Molloy later published a book (Thirty Pieces of Silver (1998)) on some of the issues relevant to that inquiry and, more broadly, the role in New Zealand, of the large legal firm, Russell McVeagh McKenzie Bartleet & Co.[1] He has also published other comment on the Winebox Inquiry.[3]
Judicial specialisationedit
Molloy has complained about New Zealand's "one judge fits all" approach to law, where the legal profession fails to insist counsel should not argue cases in areas where they have no competence, and parliament fails to insist judges sit on cases only where they have acknowledged expertise. He has been supported by some lawyers[4] and criticised by others[5] including New Zealand's Attorney-General who has suggested that Molloy surrender his QC warrant.[6][7][8]
Wine groweredit
In 1980 Molloy and his wife Petra established the St Nesbit vineyard and winery at Karaka, 30 km south of Auckland, on a peninsula on the Manukau harbour. The original plantings were Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. From these vines, St Nesbit produced an award-winning red wine. However, the vines were decimated by leaf roll virus in the early 1990s and had to be removed. The vineyard was then replanted with the five Bordeaux varieties (the three mentioned above with Petit Verdot and Malbec) using new clones, low-vigour rootstock and very high plant densities. The first vintage was released from the new vineyard in 2002. It was the first St Nesbit released in 10 years. St Nesbit continues to make only one wine, a vineyard-determined blend.[1][9]
