David Taylor sworn filed and dated 29.3.2007. This is the Invoice No.201702
which says that David Taylor paid for the disputed court fees by:
1) a personal cheque the sum of $654.00 for which a
Receipt SCR 1348 was issued to him on 10.2.2006;
2) cash 20 cents on 10.2.2006 for which a Receipt SCR 1347

Email correspondences and letters sent by the First
Applicant upon the instructions of Nancy Hall for the processing of her loan
from Loans West et al which was approved conditional on the removal of the
Spunter’s Caveat by Operation of Law.
The dereliction of duties of David Taylor caused damages to the estate
of Nancy Hall as a result of the falsifications of the court records in
CIV1131 of 2006 by David Taylor and the ensuing litigation in CACV107 of 2008
et al until today. This is the basis
for the claim of the First Applicant against the estate of Nancy Hall in the
aftermath of her death which occurred on 13.1.2008. The Solicitor Work of the
First Application has a causal connection with the Removal of the Spunter’s
Caveat by operation of law

First Applicant (Removal of Spunter’s Caveats by Operation of Law) (2 pages).

Court Registry. It indicates Invoice No. 201702 for registering the Writ in
CIV 1131 of 2006 issued by David Taylor in purported compliance with Jenkins

4) Why
is ML2 referring to the two payments on different days?
5) Why
are the Receipt Nos in DGT 14 for the two payments different to the Receipt
Nos. for the two payments in ML2
6) Why
is ML2 referring to payment by Eftos Credit Card for $654.00?
7) Why
is DGT14 referring to payment by personal cheque issued by David Taylor?

again when he could have paid the two sums totaling $654.20 using Eftpos on a
credit card on the same day?

Letter from the Chief Justice Wayne Martin QC stating that
His Honour shall be investigating the falsification of court records by
Registrar Powell regarding the latter’s letter to the First Applicant that
CIV1131 of 2006 was filed on 16.2.2006 instead of 10.2.2006. That letter is
dated 11.6.2009 and is found at page 136 of the Yellow Appeal Book in CACV
107 of 2008. That letter is referred
to as the Fresh Evidence in CIV1877 of 2010 that was decided by Commissioner
Sleight. His Honour’s reply letter dated 3.8.2011 to the First Applicant’s
letter dated 24.7.2011 (The Fresh Evidence).

Letter from the First Applicant to the LPCC regarding the
sum of $20k that was the subject of Pullin JA Order in CACV 107 of 2008 (the
Trust Monies) (2 pages):
1) The
Trust monies were required to be paid into the account of the legal firm of
McCallum Donovan Sweeney for which Anthony Prime is its director.
2) The
Trust Monies were in consideration for the removal of the stay of execution
of Master Sanderson Order in CIV1775 of 2008 to remove the First Applicant’s
Caveat against part of the estate of Nancy Hall.
3) The
caveat is to protect the caveatable interests of the First Applicant
resulting from the former s.244 LPC Salvour’s solicitor work of the First
Applicant for the removal of the Caveat of Spunter Pty Ltd (Removal of
Spunter’s Caveat by operation of Law).
4) The
Removal of Spunter’s Caveats by operation of Law was caused by the
dereliction of duties of David Taylor to Maurice Law or Spunter in CIV 1131
of 2006 (the Dereliction of Duties).

Hall in CIV2073 of 2007 was resolved by the administrator clandestinely with
the payment of mortgage sum of $702k in exchange for the fraudulent debt of
$2.3m. This is a settlement effected by the Administrator with her Aunty Mrs.
Audrey Hall without satisfying the claim of the creditors of the Estate of
Nancy who are (the Clandestine Settlement):

First Applicant’s claim through the former s.244LPA Salvour provision for
Solicitor’s Costs that has been approved by Buzz JA in CACV 107 of 2008;

WE, NICHOLAS NI
KOK CHIN (Lawyer, not in current
practice) of No. 387, Alexander Drive , DIANELLA WA 6059,
and MAURICE FREDERICK LAW (Retired Builder) of No. 87,
William Street , HERNE HILL WA 6056,
do make oath and say as follows:
2. The
facts herein are true and correct,
to the best of our knowledge,
information and belief. Where we identify the source of facts stated as other
than from our own personal knowledge,
we believe such facts to be true and correct.
3. We
are filing this Affidavit in support of the joint Application in the NOTICE OF
MOTION dated 23rd day of January,
2012 in Form 64 pursuant to RSC O 54 r 5 for the following purposes of seeking
the following:
3.1.THIRTEEN Declarative Orders pursuant
to s.25(6) of the Supreme Court Act,
1935 WA for which there can be objection to by the contending parties (the
Act);
3.2.IF NECESSARY and in the course of
this Honourable Court making the Declarative Orders,
the contending parties are asked to show cause as determined by this Honourable
Court in terms of:
3.2.1. the cancellation of the technical
slips of issues made by the courts below pursuant to s.33 of the Act;
3.2.2. the Judicial Review of disputed
issues pursuant to s. 43 of the Act;
3.2.3. the new trial of disputed issues
pursuant to s.59 of the Act..
DOCUMENTS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION:
4.
In
addition to the above NINETEEN listed documents in the Schedule above, I wish to be included for the consideration of
this court the following documents which have been filed in the various
proceedings for the courts to make a determination of the above declarative
Orders, in the following terms:
4.1.All those FIFTEEN listed matters in
two sets: the first set consisting of SIX matters and the second set consists
of EIGHT matters, which are cited at
page one of the Application;
4.2.We refer to item 2 of the first set
of matters, for which we have
received a response from the Court of Appeal Registrar Eldred dated
15.9.2011. The response requires us to
make an application under RSC O 67 r.5 as it appears to her to be an abuse of
process/frivolous or vexatious. Accordingly,
we are including the said item 2 as part of this application for leave.
4.3.Further,
the First Applicant is the subject of the Order of His Honour Justice Murray in
his decision in PRINCIPAL REGISTRAR V CHIN [2012] WASC 7 dated 10.1.2012 in CIV
1689 of 2011 that he has to obtain leave of court for this filing of this
Application pursuant to RSC O.67 r.5.
.
THE JURISDICTIONAL ERRORS OF THE FOUR JUDGES:
5. Just as in any other principles of
common law, there is only one
principle of common law in Australia
concerning the jurisdictional Errors of the Four Judges. I refer to the lecture of the Honourable
Chief Justice of the NSW Supreme Court His Honour Justice James Spigelman entitled
Jurisdiction and Integrity -
The Second Lecture in the 2004 National Lecture Series available which is available at: http://www.ipc.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/supreme_court/ll_sc.nsf/pages/SCO_speech_spigelman050804
(the lecture) (See Document No.1 labelled as C & L 1 in the Schedule
above). .
6. The lecture can provide this
Honourable Court an understanding of the law with regard to jurisdictional
facts and errors of law apparent on the court records,
which are the subject matter of this joint Application.
7. We would like to stress the Integrity
Aspects of the Jurisdictional Errors of the Law of the Four Judges, which impinges on Their Honour’s honesty, sincerity,
good faith and therefore their integrity without deference to Registrar Powell
and solicitor David Taylor in their discharge of their duties as judges for the
proper purpose of the administration of justice in our judicial system in
Western Australia which does not allow cronyism to take place (the Integrity
Aspects).
8. Having regard to the Integrity
Aspects of the Four Judges, we
specifically would like to stress that Their Honours must not be seen to be
evading those issues to be read together with the applicable evidence before
them. To do their duties faithfully, they must provide the reasons for their decisions
on those specific issues that are before them or they must be reasonably found
to be honestly discharging their duties in accordance with the law in order to
provide fair justice to all the disputing parties that are before them. We do not make blanket accusations against
any of the judges, but if the caps
fit them, they are exhorted with due
honesty and due respect to wear them. Those
are the issues before this Honourable Court which we are referring to in this Joint
Application as “issues” in terms of the following:
8.1.The grouses of the Applicants must be
heard or they must not be denied their procedural fairness or their natural
justice, lest the determination of
the judges be rendered null and void;
8.2.The respective judges must not at all
material times, identify the wrong
issues and they are reasonably found to be doing so;
8.3.We know that the respective judges were
asking themselves the wrong questions;
8.4.We know that the respective judges
were ignoring relevant materials;
8.5.We do know that the respective judges
were relying on irrelevant materials;
8.6.They are reasonably found to have
been making erroneous findings of facts or law;
8.7. We have personally found them to be
reaching mistaken conclusions of facts or law;
8.8.When they are making determination of
critical facts they have been reasonably found to have relied on no evidence;
8.9. They were making irrational and
illogical reasoning in the fact finding process in the respective judgments;
8.10.
Our
due respect to all the Four Judges, we
must say that as a result of the above,
their Honours are found to have made purported decisions only which do not
render themselves ex-functus officio,
as they are bound by the laws to continue to discharge their obligations until
they have made proper determinations in accordance with the law and have
therefore dispensed justice in accordance with their respective oaths of
office.
8.11.
This
is because Their Honours must not continue to misapprehend the law after they
have been pointed out the correct law by us.
All the above pointers are contained in the filed documents in the above
listed FOURTEEN MATTERS.
9. We refer to the Statement of
Chronology and the NINETEEN documents as listed above which shows that the
Dereliction of Duties of David Taylor as solicitor for Maurice Law or the
Second Applicant or to his company Spunter Pty Ltd had caused the Removal of the
Spunter’s Caveats by operation of law.
Therefore, the Nexus between the
First Applicant’s solicitors work for Nancy Hall and the Removal of the Second
Applicant’s or Spunter’s Caveats have been established. Therefore the First Applicant is entitled to
make my claim for his solicitors remuneration based on s.244 of the former LPA
as the Salvour of part of Nancy ’s
Estate which is now under the hands of the Administrator.
10. Further,
the First Applicant as the solicitor for
Nancy Hall have been faithful in exercising his duties in accordance with the
law and he is entitled to make his claim against the Estate for Nancy Hall for
the legal costs of his solicitors work in the sum of about $150k to be assessed
by this Honourable Court.
11. At the same time, as the solicitor for Nancy Hall under the former
s.244 of the LPA, the First
Applicant needs to ensure that the creditors of Nancy Hall in the person of the
Second Applicant are being dealt with justly and brought to a successful
conclusion in accordance with the law.
The remissness of the Administrator of Nancy Hall is causing us, the First and Second Applicant to do this. There are our duties to the court first and they
do not conflict with the First Applicant’s interests as the Salvour of Nancy’s
estate nor with the Second Applicant’s interests.
