Former Northern Territory chief justice Brian Ross Martin will no longer head a royal commission into the territory's youth detention.
Following accusations of a conflict of interest over his daughter's employment as an adviser to the former NT attorney-general, Justice Martin said on Monday he would step away from the seven-month inquiry.
Questions were raised whether Justice Martin had a personal conflict, given he may have sentenced young people involved in the inquiry who were potentially abused behind bars.
