On 10 August 2026, Adrian James Campbell filed a corrected affidavit with the Federal Court of Australia. In it, he acknowledged a criminal and consumer-law history he had previously denied — in sworn evidence before the same court.

The corrected affidavit, as recorded in Justice Derrington's judgment in Campbell v McIntyre (No 2) [2026] FCA 1279, is among the most significant documents in the public record relating to Adrian James Campbell.

What the Original Affidavit Said

In his original affidavit, filed 11 May 2026, Campbell made the following sworn statements to the Federal Court:

"I have never been the subject of any criminal prosecution in Australia, for business practices or anything else."
"I have never been convicted for any criminal offence, or 'evicted' for offences."
"I was not involved in any case in 2018 or any other time and ordered to pay fines and compensation for $500,000 or any amount of money."

These statements were false. All three were directly contradicted by Campbell's own documented history.

What the Corrected Affidavit Acknowledged

In the corrected affidavit of 10 August 2026, Campbell acknowledged:

  • A fraud conviction in 2012
  • Five convictions under the Australian Consumer Law in the Southport Magistrates Court on 17 July 2015, in connection with "International Solar Solutions," resulting in a $10,000 fine and $18,355 restitution
  • Eleven convictions under section 151(1)(h) of the Australian Consumer Law on 12 March 2018, in connection with "Eco Boss Pty Ltd," resulting in an $85,000 fine and $102,200 in compensation orders

What the Court Found

Justice Derrington found that these non-disclosures were "significant" — one of three material non-disclosures that warranted the discharge of the interim injunction Campbell had obtained. The court found that the criminal history was "relevant not only to the nature and extent of the harm that might have been suffered by the continued publication of the impugned representations, but also to whether the representations were or were likely to be misleading as to Mr Campbell's character."

Key point: The admissions in the corrected affidavit are not allegations, claims, or contested findings. They are admissions made by Campbell himself, in sworn evidence filed with the Federal Court of Australia. They are recorded in a published Federal Court judgment freely accessible to any member of the public.

The Broader Non-Disclosures

The criminal history was one of three significant non-disclosures the court identified. The others were:

  • Campbell's country of residence — he resides in Thailand, not Australia as the court had been led to believe
  • The nature of the $25 million loss — which was not a personal loss but a loss sustained by corporate entities not party to the proceedings

Together, these three non-disclosures led Justice Derrington to discharge the injunction and impose an indemnity costs order against Campbell.
