6.2.2006,
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, which is referred to as the Nexus found in the rationale of the High Court in P1 of 2010 (The Nexus) (6 pages)

1.                  I,  NICHOLAS NI KOK CHIN (Lawyer, not in current practice) of No. 387, Alexander Drive, DIANELLA WA 6059, do make oath and say as follows:
2.         The facts herein are true and correct, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. Where I identify the source of facts stated as other than from my own personal knowledge, I believe such facts to be true and correct.
3.         I am filing this Affidavit in support of the joint Application in the ORIGINATING MOTION dated 7th day of February, 2012 in Form 64 pursuant to RSC O 54 r 5 for LEAVE to institute proceedings for the FIRST TIME PURSUANT to s.6 (1) and (3) of the Vexatious Proceedings Restrictions Act, 2002 (WA) (the Act); (as a result of the Order of Justice Murray dated 11.1.2012 in CIV1689 of 2011 declaring the First Applicant a Vexatious Litigant) for the purposes of seeking the following:
3.1 EIGHT ORDERS for Leave pursuant to s. 6(1) (a) of the Act.
     3.2. EIGHT Declarative Relief pursuant to s.25(6) of the Supreme Court Act, 1935 WA for which there can be no objection to by the contending parties (the Act);
3.3.IF NECESSARY and in the course of this Honourable Court making the SIXTEEN ORDERS AND DECLARATORY RELIEFS, the parties who are ordered to be served with these documents may be asked to show cause as to why those parts of the decision in the SEVENTEEN LISTED matters should be EXPURGATED for Errors of Law Apparent On the Court Records and for the Jurisdictional Errors of the FOUR JUDGES which had caused detriment and economic deprivations to both Applicants.    Such EXPURGATION is to be determined by a Judge of the Supreme Court in accordance with the law on Jurisdictional Errors and Judicial Integrity as propounded by the Honourable Justice Spigelman, in the following terms:
3.3.1.      the cancellation of the technical slips of issues made by the courts below pursuant to s.33 of the Supreme Court Act, 1935 (the Second Act);
3.3.2.      the Judicial Review of disputed issues pursuant to s. 43 of the Second Act;
3.3.3.      the new trial of disputed issues pursuant to s.59 of the Second Act..

DOCUMENTS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION:  

4.                  In addition to NINETEEN SETS of the listed documents in the Schedule above, I wish to draw this Honourable Court’s attention to the following documents already in the court records as follows:
4.3.All those FIFTEEN matters are in two sets: the first set bearing Nos. 1 to 7 and the second set bearing Nos. 8 to 15, both of which are cited at page one of the Application;
4.4.I refer to item No.2 of matters, for which I have received a response from the learned Court of Appeal Registrar Eldred in her letter dated 15.9.2011 (See Document No.20 in the Schedule).  That response requires me 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, I am including the said item 2 (in 44 pages) as part of this application for leave.

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 mine and the Second Applicant’s joint Application.  
7.      I would like to stress the Integrity Aspects of the Jurisdictional Errors of the Law of the Four Judges, which impinges on the public perception of Their Honour’s honesty, sincerity, good faith and therefore their integrity (without paying 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 for cronyism to take place (the Integrity Aspects). 
8.      Having regard to the Integrity Aspects of the Four Judges, I specifically would like to stress that Their Honours must not be seen to be evading those issues 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 and equal justice to all the disputing parties that are before them.  I am not making a blanket accusation against any of the judges, but I want to apologize beforehand lest I create any ill feelings against me whilst I am trying to be honest.   They are the issues before this Honourable Court which I am referring to the Joint Application as “issues” in terms of the following: 
8.3.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;
8.4.The respective judges must not at all material times, identify the wrong issues and they are reasonably found to be doing so;
8.5.I know that the respective judges were asking themselves the wrong questions;
8.6.I know that the respective judges were ignoring relevant materials;
8.7.I do know that the respective judges were relying on irrelevant materials;
8.8.They are reasonably found to have been making erroneous findings of facts or law;
8.9. I have personally found them to be reaching mistaken conclusions of facts or law;
8.10.                    When they are making determination of critical facts they have been reasonably found to have relied on no evidence;
8.11.                     They were making irrational and illogical reasoning in the fact finding process in the respective judgments;
8.12.                    My due respect to all the Four Judges, I must say that as a result of the above, their Honours are found to have made purported decisions only which does 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.
8.13.                    This is because Their Honours must not continue to misapprehend the law after they have been pointed out the correct law by me.  All the above pointers are contained in the filed documents in the above listed FIFTEEN MATTERS.  
9.      I refer to the Statement of Chronology and the 18 documents as listed above which show 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 and that the Nexus between my solicitors work for Nancy Hall and the Removal of the Spunter’s Caveats have been established.  Therefore I am entitled to make my claim for my 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, I as the solicitor for Nancy Hall have been faithful in exercising my duties in accordance with the law and I am entitled to make my claim against the Estate for Nancy Hall for the legal costs of my solicitors work in the sum of about $150k to be assessed by this Honourable Court.  I shall be continuing my work for the estate of Nancy if the Administrator is recalcitrant in acknowledging my Claims.
11.  At the same time, as the solicitor for Nancy Hall under the former s.244 of the LPA, I need to ensure that the creditors of Nancy Hall in the person of the Second Applicant is being dealt with justly and bring it to a successful conclusion and in accordance with the law.  The remissness of the Administrator of Nancy Hall is causing me to do this.  This is my duty to the court first and it does not conflict with my interests as the Salvour of Nancy’s estate.  
12.  The only issue I need this Honourable Court to DEAL WITH is NOT TO AVOID the SINGLE ISSUE OF THE FALSIFICATIONS OF THE COURT RECORDS BY DAVID TAYLOR IN CIV 1131 OF 2006 ON 10.2.2006 THAT IS NOW BEING VERIFIED BY THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY DAVID TAYLOR IN VR158 OF 2011 ON 29.11.2011: THAT IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE PRESIDENT OF SAT, THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE CHANEY.

MR. JAMES JOHNSON IS ALSO A VICTIM OF A CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM


New post on lawyerocracyontrial

Whistleblower aims to restore justice to the law

by lawyerocracyontrial
http://www.change.org/petitions/shire-rates-issues-for-the-people-of-western-australia?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=share_petition
AS A JOURNALIST, a documentary maker, a whistleblower and a Federal Political Candidate, senior constitutional human rights barrister James Johnson has a reputation for being unstoppable.
Adding to his previous whistleblower titles such as The Crucible” , Soylent Green and Gold” and Seven Little Australians, Mr Johnson is in full production with three more documentaries due for release this year – Solving Debtocracy”, Lawyerocracy” andLawyerocracy on Trial.”
Mr Johnson is also a lead spokesperson for a trio of public campaigns to bring back legal standards for Australia's barristers and solicitors, which the Australian High Court wholesale abolished in 2004.
1. The first campaign involves a series of proposed High Court test cases, to persuade the High Court to re-impose a legal duty of care on solicitors and to extend the same legal duty of care to barristers.
2. The second campaign involves lobbying State Premiers and Attorney-Generals to bring in independent legal regulators to replace the 'boys club' of co-regulation legal regulatory schemes which many accuse regulators of failing the public by protecting lawyers who are 'not up to the job'.
3. The third campaign, James describes as “totally surreal.” He says It's the sort of thing Charles Dickens or Lewis Carroll might have written as a parody, a mockery of a legal process, a legal profession and a government bureaucracy all gone horribly wrong ...”
James is referring to charges of “professional misconduct” levelled against him, in late 2011 by the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner. About 120 members of the public turned up to support James at the last hearing on 21 May 2012.
Hearings resume on 6 July 2012, at VCAT, 55 King Street Melbourne.
James shrugs this off, “There is no substance to the allegations. That's why the legal regulator has already dismissed them at least twice. It's dirty politics ... a blatant political payback. Reprisals are just one part of the price I have to pay for telling the truth, for blowing the whistle on corruption and cronyism in the legal profession and in government. The allegator, a Federal Barrister, his co-allegator, a Federal Magistrate, and the prosecutor, the Legal Services Commissioner are the ones who need investigation. The three of them are co-defendants in a $50 million Supreme Court counterclaim I filed over 3 years ago. So far, I've taken the Legal Services Commissioner to the Supreme Court of Victoria, twice, in late 2008 then in late 2009. I was 100% successful on both occasions.”
And Michael McGarvie is a former law firm partner of my political opponent, Julia Gillard. It all goes to show how deep the pay back goes.”
The Legal Services Commissioner, Michael McGarvie, and his team of a dozen in-house lawyers are doing their utmost to become the first government officials to be jailed (for up to 2 years per count) under Victoria's still untested Whistleblowers Protection Act of 2001. And the more they keep doing it, the more they expose themselves, breaking more laws, drawing-in and implicating more lawyers in the crimes and cover-ups against me – including VCAT staff, barristers, other government agency lawyers, even judges. They have more to worry about than I do.”
The stories behind these campaigns are the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters. Which is exactly what Mr Johnson hopes will happen with two of his current documentaries “Lawyerocracy” and “Lawyerocracy on Trial” (which tracks the VCAT prosecution against him) when they are released later this year.
“Aussiewood first – Hollywood second,” says Mr Johnson, “With corruption on this scale the bright lights of Hollywood are the best antiseptic.”
In 2004 Australia's High Court created extraordinary “world first” laws when it took away from 22 million Australians the right to sue solicitors who negligently mess up in court. This came about in a “highly contrived” 2004 test case, D'Orta-Ekenaike v Victoria Legal Aid and A Barrister. The High Court of Australia ruled 6:1 (Hon Justice Michael Kirby the lone dissenter) that Australia should remain the only nation where negligent barristers can't be sued. The High Court ignored 15 unanimous English Law Lords who abolished the privilege in England in 2000.
The barristers' immunity was a product of the old English feudal caste system. Seventeenth century Lords were aghast at the idea of aristocrats (barristers) being sued by commoners. It is a bit of an indictment of lawyer and government ethics, and public apathy, that the privilege survived as long as it did.”
Since 2000 Australia is the only country where the barrister privilege law hasn't been abolished.
But the real damage to the Australian public was done not by the High Court keeping that quaint and almost insignificant old law, but by it creating a new, bigger and bolder law.”
The two Victorian government agencies orchestrating that case, Victoria Legal Aid Office and the almost anonymous Victorian Legal Practitioners Liability Committee convinced the High Court to extend the outdated 300 year old “barristers immunity” privilege to cover Australia's more than 77,000 litigation solicitors. Clients of solicitors practising in family law, wills and estates, criminal law, mortgagee evictions, all court-intensive areas of legal practice, suddenly, for the first time became prohibited from suing for damages if their solicitors were negligent in handling their case.
The English feudal caste system has been kept alive in Australia. It's a “bunyip aristocracy” enormously strengthened in 2004 when 77,000 solicitors were upgraded to join 7,000 barristers in the ranks of the aristocrats, who can't be sued by commoners for messing up their law suits.
This is much worse than just a ten or eleven fold increase in the number of lawyers who were suddenly put above laws that they take money from everybody else, to apply to everybody else. The flow on effect has been catastrophic. It is only 8 years since Australia's lawyers create this greater immunity just for themselves. But overwhelming evidence shows that professional and ethical standards amongst court room solicitors – litigators in family law matters, wills and estates, minor criminal matters, bankruptcies, mortgagee repossessions, evictions et cetera – have gone into rapid free fall since 2004.”
It isn't just that ethics, skills, knowledge, morale and mental health have plummeted among 77,000 solicitors. As solicitors standards have plummeted they have taken down with them the high standards that once existed amongst the ranks of Australia's 7,000 barristers.
The contamination has gone up into the lawyer-intensive judiciary and other government agencies and departments, spreading the downward spiral back through the other branches of government.”
With support from the Baillieu-Clark Victorian Government, several leading Australian law firms, and the Victorian government providing legal aid funding, Mr Johnson says he is confident that High Court of Australia, “under the watchful eye of Chief Justice Sheldon French”, will act decisively to admit its 2004 mistakes and bring Australia's laws of lawyering into line with the rest of the world.
Barristers and solicitors have to be subject to the same legal professional standards they impose on everyone else. And, after all, the High Court of Australia, and the Chief Justice of the High Court, have international reputations to protect too.
What better way to protect and build a legal reputation than by restoring justice to the law.”

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS
AT PERTH ON TUESDAY, 5 JUNE 2012, AT 11.11 AM
MR N.N.K. CHIN appeared in person.
MR M.F. LAW appeared in person.
MR C.P. STOKES appeared for the applicant in action number 2157 of 2011 and for the first respondent in action number 1275 of 2012
5/6/12
2
HEENAN J:   I am dealing with an action, number CIV 2157 of 2011.  That is an action between Michele-Maree Gannaway as plaintiff and Nicholas Ni Kok Chin as first defendant and Maurice Frederick Law as second defendant and the Registrar of Titles as third defendant.  In a judgment, the reasons for which were delivered on 12 August 2011, Simmonds J ordered that caveats lodged by Mr Chin and Mr Law against property in the name of the plaintiff should be removed.  Subsequent to that application an order for costs was made against Mr Chin and Mr Law in relation to those proceedings.
      Now before the Court is an application brought by Nicholas Ni Kok Chin as first applicant, Spunter Pty Ltd as trustee for the M.F. Law Family Trust trading as M.F. Law Builder, second applicant, Michele-Maree Gannaway, respondent, and it is entitled ex parte Spunter Pty Ltd v Nicholas Ni Kok Chin, and it is said to be an ex parte application pursuant to section 15(2) of the Civil Judgments Act. 
      It is supported by two joint affidavits of Mr Law and Mr Chin, first sworn 23 April 2012, and the second sworn 28 May 2012, seeking orders under the Civil Judgments Enforcement Act to suspend the alleged unlawful execution of the costs order made pursuant to the order of Simmonds J on 12 August 2011.
      There are a number of irregularities about the proposed application and the affidavits.  The first is that they do not accurately recite the title of the proceedings

5/6/12                                                  3
which I have already described and which Michele-Maree Gannaway is the plaintiff.  Secondly, they omit Mr Maurice Frederick Law in his personal capacity as a defendant liable under the Costs Order. 
Thirdly, they introduce, without leave, a new party, Spunter Pty Ltd, alleged to be a trustee of the M.F. Law Family Trust, and they seek, on specious grounds, to suspend the alleged wrongful execution of the taxation order.
So far as the application concerns Mr Nicholas Ni Kok Chin, the fact of the matter is that, by an order in separate proceedings, CIV 1689 of 2011, brought by the Principal Registrar of this court against Mr Chin, made by Murray J on 10 January 2012, Mr Chin was declared to be a vexatious litigant, and certain proceedings were stayed.
The order was that Mr Chin be prohibited from instituting any proceedings in any Western Australian court or tribunal without the leave of that court or tribunal, and it was order that the whole of certain other proceedings, CIV 1981 of 2010, are stayed. 
This present application pays no regard at all to that order or the stay order, and despite Mr Chin's assertions to the contrary, the affidavits filed in support of this application make no reference to an application for leave to issue proceedings under the Vexatious Proceedings Restriction Act.  Accordingly, I strike out this application brought by Mr Chin.
____________________
5/6/12                                                  4
___________________
HEENAN J:   So far as the application in the present proceedings have been brought by Spunter Pty Ltd as trustee for the M.F. Law Family Trust trading as M.F. Law Builder, Mr Law, who has appeared in person, has sought leave to appear on behalf of the company.  The position under the Rules and the Corporations Law is that a company can only appear by a solicitor in proceedings.
Mr Law asserts, without demonstrating any proof, that he has been granted leave in previous proceedings to appear on behalf of the company, but I have to consider the present application in the current proceedings.
The background is that the company, Spunter Pty Ltd, was not a party in the action before Simmonds J in which the order for costs was made.  It is not liable under the costs order made by Simmonds J and it therefore appears to have no interest in the present proceedings.
There has been no application to join Spunter Pty Ltd in the current action, therefore it has no standing, and there is no reason for it to be represented and I will not give leave, even if I could, for Mr Law to appear for the company.
So far as Mr Law is concerned personally, he has not brought an application to suspend the costs order and there is no occasion to hear him in his personal interest.  The application brought by Spunter Pty Ltd is therefore dismissed.
___________________
5/6/12                                                  5
HEENAN J:   There is before the Court an originating motion, number 1275 of 2012, brought by Nicholas Ni Kok Chin and Maurice Frederick Law as first and second applicants.  It names Michele-Maree Gannaway as administrator of the estate of Nancy Cloonan Hall as first respondent and Audrey Francis Hall as the executrix of the late Kenneth Duncan Hall as second respondent.  It is said to be ex parte by Nicholas Ni Kok Chin and ex parte by Maurice Frederick Law.
Strangely, and irregularly, the notice of originating motion refers to 15 separate proceedings commencing with Gannaway v Chin, 2157 of 2011, and concluding with Maurice Frederick Law, Cheryl Law and Spunter Pty Ltd v Hall (2005) WADC 75.  I will not enumerate all the other actions sought to be referred to. 
It also says that it is in the matter of an ex parte application in CIV 2157 of 2011 for the removal of errors apparent on court records and for declarative orders and jurisdictional errors, the cancellation of technical errors, review the areas of dispute and new trials of particular areas of dispute (the removal of errors of law apparent on the court records) to say that the document reflects inadequate and distorted understanding of the law.
Legal procedure and principles would be a gross understatement but it is necessary nonetheless to distil out of the application some sense of its apparent purpose.  In support of the application there is an affidavit of both
5/6/12                                                  6
applicants sworn 7 February 2012, an affidavit of the first applicant, that is, Mr Chin, in support of the summons for the application to issue three subpoenas, and then there is the document which I have previously overlooked; a subsequent summons issued on 2 May 2012 for leave to issue three subpoenas, and for the following orders.
Those affidavits also support the application for leave pursuant to section 6 of the Vexatious Proceedings Act sought by a notice of originating motion.  The first thing to say is that Mr Chin has been declared to be a vexatious litigant by order of Murray J on 10 January 2012.
In the summons and motion in which he seeks leave pursuant to section 6 of the Vexatious Proceedings Act, it is recited that the leave was for the purpose of instituting legal proceedings for judicial review of jurisdictional errors, their Honours Master Sanderson, Owen JA, Simmonds J and three actions in this court, and her Honour Judge Sweeney in action 2509 of 2002 in the District Court, it is very difficult to make sense of the notice of originating motion, but it seems that it is alleged that each of the decisions which are sought to be judicially reviewed is said to contain jurisdictional errors of various kinds and to have been the result of fraud procured by some third party. 
The first thing to say in relation to that is that, so far as concerns proceedings by a Judge of this court, it is not possible for an order for judicial review to issue


5/6/12                                                  7
because there can be no such things as a jurisdictional error by a Judge of this court.  There may be an error which will result in leave to appeal being granted and an appeal being allowed but, for reasons which have been canvassed in other authorities which are collected in the decision of Sleight C in Re Hall ex parte Chin No 2 (2011) WASCA 155, there can be no occasion for judicial review of any of the decisions of Judges of this court.  There is therefore no basis to grant leave.
Insofar as concerns the judgment of the District Court, the judgment of her Honour Judge Sweeney, the grounds for which judicial review is sought is a single issue of falsification of court records by a third person resulting in a default and judgment, and that the default of that third person is alleged to amount to criminal professional misconduct.
In relation to those allegations, they would, if they could be established, constitute grounds for setting aside a judgment on the basis that it was procured by fraud but that would require a separate action to that effect.  It is possible, if the fraud was patent on the base of the proceedings, for the matter to be dealt with by appeal from the District Court, but it has not been suggested that that course is desired to be taken and there is no proposal to commence separate small proceedings.
I do not consider that judicial review proceedings are appropriate to remedy the alleged errors of fraud and I
5/6/12                                                  8
refuse leave to Mr Chin under section 6 to bring proceedings to that end.  As a result, Mr Chin's application for leave under section 6 of the Vexatious Proceedings Act is refused, and he is debarred from pursuing these proceedings further. 
We come now to the conjoint application by Mr Law.  In this application, so far as it concerns present matters, he seeks an injunction to prevent the solicitor, Mr Stokes, from allegedly unlawfully executing a costs order of Simmonds J in CIV 2157 of 2011.  A judgment of Simmonds J has already been referred to.  It occurs in an action called Gannaway v Chin and Ors (2011) WASC 252 in which Mr Maurice Frederick Law was the second of three defendants; the first being Mr Chin and the third being the Registrar of Titles.
It concerned an application which was successful by Ms Gannaway for the removal of caveats lodged by both defendants and consequent orders for costs.  I am informed that the costs in those proceedings have been taxed and that steps have been taken to execute the costs order against Mr Chin and Mr Law, and it is as a result of that that the application for an injunction to stop the solicitor executing those orders is made.
There is no basis to conclude that the execution of the order is in any way unlawful.  The proceedings are not the subject of an appeal and there is no basis upon which the action having been fully heard and determined, and an
5/6/12                                                  9
order for costs made, that the law should not take its course and that the order for costs should not be executed if necessary.  Accordingly, the application for an injunction is dismissed.
The next aspect of the application by Mr Law is for the issue of three subpoenas in relation to an appeal in a judgment in CIV 2073 of 2003 of Hall v Hall.  Several things need to be mentioned about that matter.  Firstly, Mr Law was not a party to those proceedings, as I have been informed and accept.  Consequently he has no interest in the outcome of those proceedings.
Next, those proceedings have themselves been completed.  There was a judgment of the Court which led to an application for leave to appeal and appeal to the Court of Appeal.  That appeal was resolved by agreement between the parties some years ago and that has been an end of the proceedings.  There is no reason to reopen them and Mr Law is not a person who has, or who ever has had, any interest in that action.
It would appear from his oral submissions that Mr Law believes that there is evidence to support his belief that a loan or a mortgage or a financial transaction, which is at the root of a long running litigation concerning the affairs of the late Nancy Hall, was not valid or enforceable or that no money changed hands. 
He wishes to issue a subpoena to various authorities to produce evidence which he steadily asserts will
5/6/12                                                 10
demonstrate that the mortgage was not valid or effective and that no money was ever paid.  That may or may not be the case.  All I can say is that the question of the efficacy of that mortgage and relate matters has been before the Court in many earlier proceedings and has wound its way to various conclusions which are final.
Insofar as there are final judgments which deal with that mortgage and Ms Hall's obligations they cannot now be reopened.  However, Mr Law says that this particular issue has never been the subject of any judicial determination previously, and that it is not a res judicata, and it is therefore open to be pursued.  I am not in a position to say, and the evidence before me does not allow any opinion to be formed upon whether or not that contention has any justification.
Assuming for the moment that it does, it would mean that, subject to questions of issue estoppel and res judicata and possibly limitation proceedings, there may be scope to commence proceedings to resolve an issue which has never previously been determined by the courts. 
Taking the very favourable assumption that such an opportunity exists, it is not one which would be advanced or could be advanced by the issue of subpoenas as sought in this present application.  Consequently the application for the issue of subpoenas is refused.  The applications brought on behalf of the applicant, Maurice Law, will therefore all be dismissed.

HEENAN J:   It is very difficult to ascertain from the papers exactly the scope and reach of the applications that are before the Court, but it is clear enough that in 2157 of 2011 there was an application for a suspension of the execution of a costs order in the proceedings brought by Simmonds J, which have mentioned several times today, and in which Ms Gannaway was the judgment creditor.
In relation to application 1257 of 2012 there was an application directly seeking an injunction to prevent Mr Stokes from continuing to act for Ms Gannaway in execution of that order.  Although they were entitled Ex Parte Applications, notice of them was given to Mr Stokes and Ms Gannaway by them being served by email upon his office.
In those circumstances I consider that Mr Stokes was well justified and was acting in Ms Gannaway's interests in appearing before the Court to oppose the applications today.  As they have failed his client's costs should be paid by the applicants, and I order that in each case the applicants pay the costs of Ms Gannaway to be taxed.

EMAIL AND FACSIMILE REGARDING POINT OF LAW SENT TO SAT AND LPCC ON 30.5.2012


VR87 OF 2008: LPCC V CHIN's decision in [2012] WASAT77
1 message


Nicholas N Chin Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:09 AM
To: Legal Profession Complaints Committee

The Chief Executive Officer of SAT
Attention: Panel Members in VR87 of 2008 
The Legal Profession Complaints Comittee of WA.  

Dear Sirs
I refer to the above matter and would like to point your attention to my COMMENT No.2 displayed at my blogspot http://wwwnicholasnchin.blogspot.com.au/ with regard to the point of law as pointed out by Barrister Stephen Warne at his blogspot as indicated below (the point of law).
The point of law is with reference to item 11 and Order No.6 of SAT dated 24.4.2012 of the Table in my Written Submission in VR87 of 2009 dated 30.5.2012 served upon SAT and LPCC on the same day.  It means that Mr. White as director of Finebeam Pty Ltd, the debtor has the right to determine how he would need to apply the payment of the $2k to the Respondent which he did on 11.8.2005.  If the debtor did not make this appropriation, then that right belongs to the creditor. In this case, the creditor and the debtor did decide to pay the Respondent the sum of $2k for his legal costs at the time both reached a compromise on the 11.8.2005.  There is therefore no contingency payment as the legal fees of $2k was paid at the time when work had been performed by the Respondent for the creditor. See the email below:

I have never known until recently what the law was in relation to a creditor’s obligations and entitlements where a debtor makes a payment which could be applied to one of several debts.  I never went to look it up, but had I needed to, I’m not sure I would have known where to look. Then I stumbled across it while reading a judgment. Experience teaches that allocations of payments against debts can have many ramifications, the most obvious of which is in relation to interest.  This statement was recently re-stated as good law in Victoria:
When a debtor is making a payment to his creditor he may appropriate the money as he pleases, and the creditor must apply it accordingly. If the debtor does not make any appropriation at the time when he makes the payment the right of application devolves on the creditor.
It is a statement of Lord McNaughten in Cory Brothers & Company v Owners of Turkish Steamship ‘Mecca’ [1897] AC 286 at 293 and Deeley v Lloyds Bank Limited [1912] AC 756, 783 is apparently to like effect.
Cheers
NICHOLAS NI KOK CHIN.

Dear Sirs

Your Reference: 35-18300/6: JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT OF THE PRESIDENT OF SAT, JUSITCE CHANEY IN VR 158 OF 2011

I refer to the above matter and your response letter to me dated 30.5.2012 bearing the above reference.

Please note that this is not a matter of judicial independence which you as the executive branch of the government cannot interfere. It affects the integrity aspects of our judiciary in that the Judge (Justice Chaney) is not being honest and did not deal with the matter in accordance with the law. This has got to do with the dereliction of duties of His Honour Justice Chaney, in the following terms:

1)         On 24.2.2012, the decision of LAW and LEGAL PROFESSION COMPLAINTS
COMMITTEE [2012] WASAT 36 was made in VR158 of 2012 by Justice Chaney refusing me grant me leave to review complaint 5, 6 and 7 which are as follows [see page 23 of my Affidavit in Application for Judicial Review in CIV 1397 of 2012 dated 7.3.2012 (the Affidavit)]: 
(5).       David Taylor advised Mr. Law to complain against Mr. Chin without proper basis.
(6).       David Taylor misled Mr. Law as to date of filing of Writ of Summons in CIV1131 of 2006.
(7).       David Taylor swore an affidavit containing a false statement with regard to the filing of the Writ of Summons.  
2)         Justice Chaney refused to recognize the fact that Receipt No.202483 purported issued by the Supreme Court dated 19.5.2009 is a false receipt (found at page 49 of the Affidavit).  That false receipt is created by Registrar Powell to back up his contention in his letter dated 11.6.2009 found at page 136 of the Yellow Appeal Book in CACV 107 of 2009 for the dishonest purpose of backing up the lie of David Taylor that the court fees for Writ of Summons in CIV1131 of 2006 was paid by him using his credit card on 16.2.2006, when this has never been done. The impugned court fees was never paid on 10.2.2006, never paid again on 16.2.2006 and never paid again on 19.5.2006.
3)         Justice Chaney in VR158 of 2011 agreed in the transcript at page 9 (“you can come and see them if necessary take a copy so deal with tribunal, he will simply lodge them here”), to provide me with the bank statement I requested for in my Subpoena to David Taylor dated 15.11.2011 in his Order dated 15.11.2011.
4)         David Taylor responded to that Subpoena on 29.11.2011.  On 30.11.2009, I was allowed by Jacqui to look at only one crucial document i.e. the bank statement for the crucial transaction said that the court fees of $654.20 was paid by cheque into the bank account and was withdrawn the same day on 19.5.2009 and deposited into a credit card account.  This event never happened on 10.2.2006 or 16.2.2006 (The 2009 Bank Entries).
5)         The 2009 Bank Entries was the single document shown to me by Ms. Jacqui and I had there and then asked for a copy but was refused (Maurice Law was refused the 2009 Bank Entries).
6)         Subsequently, I kept asking for it by phone and there were people going for holidays and I was told rudely to shut up and not to challenge the tribunal.  Jacqui told me this.  This made me so confused that I could not do anything I decided to write to SAT on 5.12.2011 seeking for the 2009 Bank Entries. By that time I am convinced that the impugned court fees were never paid at all and so until today the CIV1131 of 2006 is not valid in law (the Writ of Summons in CIV1131 of 2006 was never issued).
7)         By 13.2.2011, SAT provided me with the REPLACED DOCUMENTS. They consists of five pages. The 2009 Bank Entries is missing.

In view of the above circumstances, I want the Attorney General of WA as the elected representative of the people to make sure that the judiciary is not going to kill me as it had killed Nancy Hall in the past and is killing many other people whom I know.  The justice system is not right because of the dishonesty of the judges like Justice Chaney himself.  I have tried and tried very hard not to offend any one, but this is impossible.  I am now being left in a lurch by the government of Western Australia who are not protecting the interests of its people and causing a lot of people untold miseries by the miscarriages of justice deliberately by the judges to protect their own friends and cronies.  This is not happening to me alone but is happening to many West Australians. I am losing my home, my only assets for which I have worked hard for.  Why is this happening?  Look at pages 39 to 43 of the Affidavit.

Yours truly,
M. Law
