While the barrister accepted his shortcomings, he took aim at the New Zealand Law Society (NZLS) for what he believed was a lack of care in its members. ''Nothing will change because people who run for office in the Law Society aren't interested in changing things ... They're more interested in getting their arse on the High Court bench,'' Claver told the Otago Daily Times. Claver told the ODT he had been adjudged bankrupt in February 2018, which had relieved a lot of the pressure on him.
