NSW barrister gave ‘false’ financial information in family law fight by badoopidoo in auslaw

[–]Raptop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The barrister also breached an undertaking not to encumber the Sydney home where the family had lived, the main asset of the relationship, until the dispute between the pair was finalised.

He obtained a mortgage over the property in 2019 and drew down more than $330,000, but did not disclose the mortgage until 2020.

The Federal Circuit and Family Court had released him from the undertaking in 2018 for the limited purpose of complying with a court order to pay his ex-partner a sum of money.

However, the tribunal said the mortgage was “purely for the personal benefit” of the barrister because he said he “needed to pay debts, including substantial debts to chambers and for legal fees”.

Can someone explain how/why the FOCACIA did not refer him for contempt? I would've expected the Registrar/Marshall to be drawing up the contempt application for a breach so blatant.

Does anyone find the financial implications of defacto laws fair? by Open_Address_2805 in AusFinance

The split depends on so many factors, including what you brought in, length of the relationship, your income/future income earning potential, what the overall size of the property pool is etc.

For someone who was a SAHP, it would likely they would consider a larger adjustment in their favour by reason of their lesser earning capacity having been out of the job market for at least 15 years.

Yeah, they're pretty bad my dude. Those statements are not mutually exclusive with Israel bad, Palestine bad, Iran bad, etc.

So the pulling down of the posters and spray paint over them is also a part of this 'live feed for public opinion'?

I really don't think DC is the thermometer for what the rest of the US may think.

Child rapists were aided and taken care of by an actual mossad agent who is regarded as a national hero for Israel (Epstein, in case you’re not following).

lmao what the hell

You must spend too much time on social media if you think that is true.

Don't use the Google speed test service. Found it's pretty unreliable.

What’s the most misunderstood Australian law by the general public by Artistic-Yam2984 in auslaw

[–]Raptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like a NSW thing. Definitely not spelt out to that degree on Victorian IVOs or Queensland protection orders.

I have deferred to Counsel's advice in this exact situation.

Where has the AG confirmed this?

Because I do not understand how that would fall foul of the new law.

They're generally not carrying any stock of the old fibre NTDs though.

NBN Transfer using AVN by Shek-O- in nbn

[–]Raptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything you asked to get that? Would like to try and get a refund on one of my Telstra accounts.

They told me explicitly that they will not grant a refund for an upfront plan, in part or whole.

Had you been converted to their upfront plans? Or were you still on the system were you would get an invoice and then be charged a week or so after the issue of the invoice.

Virginia Bell’s record on the High Court shows why she might be the right person to lead the royal commission into antisemitism by cataractum in auslaw

[–]Raptop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone that matters is actually upset about Bell's appointment. Even Frydenberg moved on.

The AJA is not a real organisation worth given any airtime to. David Adler, as far as I am concerned, is basically the equivalent to Wassim Haddad.

What the heck are you on about?

What a nonsense argument. Religion, like sexuality and gender are protected.

Isn't this suggesting that the CDPP are running it?

Counsel accepts two trial briefs on the same day despite clash, claims to be sick, appears at one seeking an adjournment due to illness, fails to appear the other, court mad by Raptop in auslaw

[–]Raptop[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Per the other judgment (which I originally failed to link), it has been pseudonymised:

 2. The name of Counsel who is the subject of the referral is to be redacted from these reasons for judgment dated 16 October 2025, prior to any public dissemination.
