Sydney, 3 May 2002: Clayton Utz has stepped aside as legal advisors to British American Tobacco Australia Services Limited (BATAS) on the McCabe v BATAS appeal.

Mr Wilson will be represented by Tom Bathurst QC and Freehills.

BATAS has retained Corrs Chambers Westgarth to act on its behalf in the appeal.
