Patrick Cogan is a former teacher at St Pius X College Chatswood who recently won a legal case against the school after being dismissed for alleged misconduct related to his partner, Keli Lane, a convicted murderer. Cogan had served the school for 27 years before his termination, which was deemed unfair by the Fair Work Commission. The ruling highlighted that while he had violated the school's email policy, the reasons given for his dismissal regarding media engagement and medical information were not valid, leading to his reinstatement and backpay.
