Issue No. 5: David Taylor advised Mr. Law to complain against Mr. Chin

5.1. This complaint is not trivial on the following grounds:
5.1.1. Mr. Law acted on this advice by proceeding with Midland Magistrates Court CA No. 2474 of 2006 and this harmed Mr.Chin’s reputation and caused him distress (harm to Mr. Chin).
5.1.2. Mr. Law realized that Mr. Taylor’s advice to the former is harsh, unreasonable and unjust to Mr. Chin. Therefore, the former refrained from causing Mr. Chin further harm by settling this matter with Mr. Chin through Magistrate Nicholls (refrained from causing harm to Mr. Chin).
5.1.3. Mr. Law refrained from causing harm to Mr. Chin but Mr. Taylor had already paid for the court fees of $399.00 to the Midland Magistrates Court in Case No. 2475 of 2006 and told Mr. Law that he got the Powell Cost Order from Registrar Powell for Mr. Law to work on (the advice of Mr. Taylor).   
5.1.3. However, the advice of Taylor caused Mr. Law’s loss of face and loss of money in that the former made the latter pay the court fees (which he does not have to pay anyway because of his pensioner status as the client of Centrelink) to get back a false hope of $300.00 in terms of the voidable Registrar Powell costs Order of $300.00 dated 12.6.2006.  That cost order is voidable at the option of Mr. Chin because it is based on false premises (the false costs order).
5.1.4. Mr. Taylor harbours malicious intentions against Mr. Chin as a result of the false costs order and wanted to get rid of Mr. Chin as solicitor for Ms. Nancy Hall by getting Mr. Law to complain to the LPCC against Mr. Chin. When this failed, Mr. Taylor was reasonably found to be abandoning his duties to Mr. Law and over-charging him for irrelevant work (malicious intent of Mr. Taylor).
5.1.5. Mr. Taylor was instructed by Mr. Law to enforce the DCA 2509 of 2002 dated 10.2.2002 delivered by His Honour DC Judge Groves (the default judgment). 
5.1.6. Mr. Taylor knew at all material times that Mrs. Audrey Hall was defrauding Ms. Nancy Hall with an inflated false claim of $2.3m using a sham mortgage which is purported to have priority over the default judgment debt of Mr. Law (Audrey’s fraud). 
5.1.7. Mr. Law knew that Audrey’s fraud must be unraveled before he could be successful in enforcing the default judgment but he connived at Audrey’s fraud to the detriment of Mr. Law. In the meantime, he was defrauding Mr. Law of legal fees amounting to $41k and gratis building jobs done for him amounting to $10k as already explained in the filed documents (Taylor’s fraud).
5.1.8. The Taylor’s fraud includes his telling Mr. Law that the Writ of Summons in CIV 1131 of 2006 was filed on 10.2.2006 when it was actually filed on 16.2.2006.  This makes his defence of Mr. Law’s Caveats in CIV 1142 of 2005 against Mr. Chin irrelevant but he keeps charging Mr. Law for the irrelevant work (Taylor’s further fraud).
5.1.9. Taylor’s fraud and Taylor’s further fraud could have been avoided if he had complied with the instructions of Mr. Law with regard to Audrey’s Fraud because Mr. C.P. Stokes as the solicitor for Mrs. Gannaway (Nancy”s daughter) in his letter to Mr. Law dated 14.7.2008 had confirmed Audrey’s Fraud and as a result had subsequently compromised Audrey’s fraud with a settlement sum of $702k in February, 2010 instead of $2.3m obtained by Audrey in CIV 2073 of 2003 in the judgment of Jenkins J delivered sometime just before Nancy Hall’s death on 13.1.2008 (Taylor abandonment of his duties to Mr. Law).  
5.2. This complaint is not unreasonable because it is honest, not rash, nor harsh nor unjust to Mr. Taylor based on the above grounds.
5.3. This complaint is not frivolous, vexatious or scandalous, because the above grounds are relevant to the issue at hand.
5.4. This complaint has a direct bearing on the personal interests of Mr. Law in that he suffered a detriment caused by Mr. Taylor on the above grounds.  

Issue No.6. : David Taylor misled Mr. Law as to the filing of Writ of Summons: 

6.1. This complaint is not trivial on the following grounds:
6.1.1. The falsehood that the Writ was filed on 10.2.2006 caused harm not only to Mr. Law but also to Mr. Chin
6.1.1.1:  the harm to Mr. Law is that he is being in jeopardy of having committed a crime for falsifying the court records in CIV 1131 of 2006 and that he shall lose his defence to his caveats on Nancy’s two properties once Mr. Chin is able to prove his case (the harm to Mr. Law).
6.1.1.2: the harm to Mr. Chin is that his reputation is ruined and that he is being deprived of his independent status as a lawyer and that his emoluments as the salvour solicitor for Nancy’s estate has been stopped as a result (the harm to Mr. Chin).
6.2. This complaint is not unreasonable on the grounds as stated in Issue No.5.
6.3. This complaint is not frivolous and vexatious on the grounds as stated in Issue No.5.
6.4. This complaint has a direct bearing on Mr. Law’s personal interest on the grounds as stated in Issue No. 5.

Issue No.7: David Taylor swore a false Affidavit re: the filing of Writ of Summons.

7.1. This complaint is not trivial on the following grounds:
7.1.1. The grounds of harm caused by Mr. Taylor to both Mr. Chin and Mr. Law as indicated in Issue No.5 and 6 above.
7.1.2. Mr. Taylor also caused harm to Nancy Hall; a victim who is vulnerable by virtue of her being mentally impaired or she is a person who has been diagnosed with a history of having suffered from mental impairments.
7.1.3. Mr. Taylor knew at all material times of Audrey’s fraud, of the Taylor’s fraud and of the Taylor’s further fraud.  He knew that they (the three frauds) can cause Nancy’s equity in her properties to be criminally clogged up such that she could not progress in her enterprise of developing her hotel business at Collie and this caused her early death (the detriment suffered by the estate of Nancy Hall).
7.1.4. By swearing the affidavit, Mr. Taylor conspired with Registrar Powell to create the fiction of a personal cheque in Annexure DGT14 (found at page 48 of the Yellow Appeal Book in CACV 107 of 2008) that purportedly accompanies the deposit of the Writ of Summons on 10.2.2006 at the Supreme Court Registry for the purpose of faking compliance with the Order of Jenkins J in CIV 1142 of 2005 No.1 that the Writ was filed and served on 10.2.2006 instead of 16.2.2006 (the fiction).
7.1.5. The fiction would have been legitimate but for the tell-tale sign of a white lie by Mr. Taylor in DGT14 which contradicts the letter of Registrar Powell dated 11.6.2009 written by the latter in response to an inquiry by Mr. Chin for the purpose of covering up the fiction; that is the fresh evidence in CACV 107 of 2008 and is contained at page 136 of the Yellow Appeal Book (the cover-up letter). 
7.1.6.The cover-up letter reveals the tell tale sign of the fiction because Registrar Powell refused to provide both Mr. Chin and Mr. Law the bank statement indicating that fiction of the personal cheque is not a figment of the imagination of both Registrar Powell and Mr. Taylor. Registrar Powell is the one who asserts the falsehood in the cover up letter and he therefore must prove that the falsehood is the truth.  He can do this by showing the bank statement confirming that the fiction of the personal indeed was indeed en-cashed by the Supreme Court or he must provide the reason why it was not so en-cashed. The tell-tale sign bears directly on the 20 cents which was already paid on 10.2.2006 by the fiction of the personal cheque which has again to be paid the second time by credit card by Mr. Taylor on 16.2.2006.  The letter of denial by Registrar Powell dated 4.6.2009 found at page 131 of the Yellow Appeal Book shows up the white lie (the white lie of Mr. Taylor and Registrar Powell).
7.1.7 A copy of the records of the Supreme Court of WA Registry is found at http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DhqW1lO-VEA/Tf8WXhXu-bI/AAAAAAAAAPU/JGZHub-6HM/s1600/invoice+for+%252465420.jpg. (the records).
7.1.8. The records are in two Invoices: Invoice No. 201702 dated 10.2.2006 and Invoice No. 202483 dated 16.2.2006 (the two invoices).
7.1.9. Of the two invoices, the first invoice is the fake Invoice and the second invoice is the real Invoice. The fake invoice indicates that:
7.1.9.1. $0.00 was paid for CIV 1131 of 2006 on 10.2.2006.
7.1.9.2. the two sums of $654.00 (paid with a fictitious cheque) and the 20 cents paid with cash (purportedly on 16.2.2006) was entered as one lump sum or as one item (the two sums);
7.1.9.3. the two sums were entered in error (the error);
7.1.9.4. the error is with reference to the court fees for CIV 1131 of 2006 received by the Supreme Court Registry on 16.2.2006 in the Real Invoice bearing Invoice No.202483 (the Real Invoice).
7.1.10. On the other hand, the Real Invoice indicates:
7.1.10.1. Receipt No.1442 is for the cash of 20 cents.
7.1.10.2. Receipt No. 1441 is for $654.00 paid by way of credit card.
7.1.10.3. Both Receipts indicated above is for the payment of court fees in CIV1131 of 2006;
7.1.10.4. Both Receipts is dated 16.2.2006.
7.1.10.5. No payments were ever received by the Supreme Court Registry for CIV 1131 of 2006 on 10.2.2006 but only on 16.2.2006.  
7.1.10.5. Real Invoice contradicts the assertion of Registrar Powell in his cover up letter which the learned Registrar had refused to prove in Registrar Powell’s letter of denial.
7.1.10.6. Real Invoice is the only conclusive evidence that David Taylor’s Affidavit sworn and dated 29.3.2007 in CIV 1131 of 2006 is perjurious in nature.

7.1.11. But for the white lie of Mr. Taylor and Registrar Powell, the decision of Master Sanderson (with due respect to him) in CIV 1775 of 2008 or AUDREY FRANCIS HALL as executrix of the estate of KENNETH DUNCAN HALL -v- CHIN [2008] WASC 255, giving priority to Audrey’s sham mortgage would not exist (the Sanderson priority).

7.1.12. The Sanderson priority caused the Sanderson voidable costs order against both Mr. Law and Mr. Chin (the voidable Sanderson costs Order).

7.1.13 Registrar Powell was given notice that His Honour should not be taxing the voidable Sanderson Cost Order as it is his own cause, but it was ignored and this caused the unlawful execution by the Court Sheriff and therefore the unlawful harassment of both Mr. Law and Mr. Chin. A complaint to the State Attorney General had stopped the unlawful execution (the unlawful harassment was stopped).

7.1.15. Similarly, the decision of the Court of Appeal in CACV 107 of 2008 also would not exist.  It also caused the unlawful harassment which was stopped. This is the error of law apparent on the court records and must be removed and the fraud must be unraveled.  Both Mr. Law and Mr. Chin have made separate applications dated 15.7.2011 for the effacement of the errors of law apparent on the court records that was caused by the Audrey’s fraud, the Taylor’s fraud and the Taylor’s further fraud (The courts must set its records straight).    

7.2. This complaint is not unreasonable because it is not absurd, nor harsh nor unjust on Mr. Taylor upon the ground that the courts must set its records straight and other foregoing grounds.
7.3. The complaint is not frivolous nor vexatious nor scandalous because it is relevant and is based upon the truths as indicated in the foregoing grounds.
7.4. This complaint has a direct bearing on the interests of Mr. Law based on the harm that was caused to both Mr. Chin and Mr. Law and also upon the other foregoing grounds. 

CONCLUSION:

Mr. Law has a few questions which are troubling him and they are also casting doubts upon the minds of the members of the public.  These troubling questions are with regard to the true functions of the LPCC as a public body whose duty is to discipline lawyers without fear and favour and they must do so without being biased and prejudiced against poor innocent victims of  lawyers like Mr. Law and many others:
1.      Why are there manifestations of partialities of the LPCC in favour of Mr. Taylor and against Mr. Law in the following terms:
1.1.  Why is David Taylor not being questioned, queried and investigated as a result of the LPCC having received complaints from Mr. Law?
1.2.  Why is David Taylor not putting in his defence evidence of the payment of court fees on 10.2.2006 in CIV1131 of 2006 which would either prove his innocence or his fraudulent intention?
1.3.  Why is David Taylor being visibly seen by Mr. Law to be protected against or is immune from the complaints?
1.4.  Why is the LPCC saying only at this late stage that Mr. Taylor could probably be guilty of only unprofessional conduct and not professional misconduct?
1.5.  Why is the LPCC blind to the recklessly deceptive and fraudulent professional misconduct of Mr. Taylor?
1.6.  Why the LPCC is only biased in favour of Mr. Taylor by its avoiding the truth in that the latter harbours malicious intent towards his own client and is reasonably found to have committed acts, which clearly show that he is advancing his own private interests over the interests of his own client, Mr. Law?
1.7.  Why is the LPCC blind to the fact that Mr. Taylor is taking Mr. Law for a “nut” for he has already taken me for a ride by deceiving me some $60k which includes his threat to sue me for more than $10k of supposedly unpaid bills.  On top of that he has fraudulently obtained free building works from me that is worth a lot of money.  In all, for the said $60k he has done “bloody nothing”?  
1.8.  Why is the LPCC blind to the fact that Mr. Taylor was issuing threats and was reasonably seen to be behaving aggressively towards me?
1.9.  Why is the LPCC not looking at his abandonment of his duties toward me as his client when he has two clearly defined portfolios, namely the enforcement of the DCA2509 of 2002 default judgment and the defence of my caveats in CIV1142 of 2005 No.1 and No.2?



Signature of Mr. MAURICE FREDERICK LAW


[1] Merriam-Webster dictionary meaning of trivial: of little worth or importance, commonplace or ordinary or concerned with trivia; in the context of defamation law, the defence of triviality means that it does not cost harm to the plaintiff.
[2] Merriam-Webster dictionary meaning of unreasonable: not governed by or acting according to reason <unreasonable people> b : not conformable to reason : absurd <unreasonable beliefs>; in legal cases, judges often attribute an action which is unjust, rash or harsh as unreasonable.


[4] Merriam-Webster meaning of frivolity: of little weight or importance, having no sound basis (as in fact or law), lacking in seriousness and unbecoming levity or seeming frivolity or unsteadiness.  In legal parlance, the three words: scandalous, frivolous and vexatious are always lumped together to mean:  the intention of annoying or embarrassing the person against whom they are brought; brought for collateral purposes, and not for the purpose of having the court adjudicate on the issues to which they give rise; irrespective of the motive of the litigant, the action is so obviously untenable or manifestly groundless as to be utterly hopeless. Broadly speaking, anything that is relevant to the issue at hand is therefore: neither frivolous, nor vexatious nor scandalous.
