1. Full case and arguments submitted against Westpac Banking Corporation to VCAT.
2. Westpac Lawyer's fax on 19 Feb 2007 pleading to meet me prior to hearing scheduled for 22 Feb 2007 (directions hearing).
3. 22 feb 2007, Deputy President Ms B Steele, decided (after her encouragement to me to go for Compulsory Conference, to Compromise with Bank was vehemently refused by me.
Full transcript of proceedings on 22 Feb 07 full day hearing scheduled for 19th March 2007. My letter to Ms B Steele regarding VCAT powers and for her own benefit in the position she was administering to public, as she was not aware of VCAT's powers to order interlocutory injunction against Westpac. Page 1, Page 2.
VCAT altering the decision made on 22 Feb 2007 to allow a full day hearing (from commencing from 10.00 a.m. to commencing from 2.15p.m., court ends by 4.30p.m)
Westpac's revised defence letter (as the first defence letter, from Mr Sam Ure, was not worth standing for minutes in the court).
On 13th March 2007 itself they knew the name of the Judge to preside over on 19th March.
But the judgement itself and the reasons for her decision are NOT made known to public by placing in legal database. Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
Then followed the hearing and dismissal on 20th March 2007, by Justice Harbison and making me pay $ 10,000 to Westpac before 30th April 2007.
Transcript of 19th March 07 hearing, 20th March 2007 hearing. My new case against Justice Harbison filed on 27th March 2007 and VCAT's response to it, i insisted in registering the case, rescheduling and final withdrawal due to my overseas trip. (shortly i put the email link in withdrawal).
Sudden resignation by Chief Judge of VCAT on 21st March 2007 (not only he resigned from VCAT, but also from Supreme Court Judge position, hats off to this person who has a backbone and principle not to budge for anyone's pressure when it came to his role of being a Judge to deliver Judgement, perhaps he has good realisation of who a judge is for the public).
I felt uncomfortable about my second case against Westpac, in the same court.
Still believed in my philosophy that not all in a place can be bad and i would get justice from the same court.
I applied to Attorney General Rob Hulls, (second one on 22april07) as there existed 'conflict of interest' in my understanding. (www.countycourt.vic.gov.au). Honourable Rob Hulls reply. My letter to John.
I complained to Legal services commissioner, their reply 1, reply 2, reply3, reply4. (will attach reply 2 shortly they only confirm that Judge Strong didn't not appear in disguise, but have not confirmed if he is a twin brother with Mr Strong who appeared for Westpac and if he was not related to Judge Strong).
VCAT has (visit VCAT website www.vcat.vic.gov.au) President/Chief Judge who is a Supreme Court Judge, below this position two vice presidents heading two wings of VCAT. Anti discrimination wing headed by Justice Harbison and Civil list wing by Justice Bowman. Besides the two judges at VCAT at 55 King Street, Melboune 3001, there are 5 other Judges & 'Vice Presidents' presiding over at county courts.
One of the Vice presidents is "Judge Strong". He is supposed to be at, Melbourne County Court, 250 William street, Melbourne 3001. It is just the next street and about couple of blocks away from VCAT building. He was heading Work cover 134AB lists. Perhaps he may have been a senior to Justice Harbison at VCAT. From the transcripts (attached link above) on 10th May 07 one can notice clearly the way Mr Strong was 'brain jacking/hijacking'. If he was only a counsel for Westpac, Senior Member Vassie did not have to take up his 'dictations/directions as gospel.
I wanted to reconfirm this in person, face to face. I searched his location in Melbourne county court. Went to attend his session on 2nd April 2007. That day the court announce about 10a.m that he won't attend due to ill health. Next he was scheduled for 'sentencing' on 4th April 2007 in Court 7-3 of Melbourne county court at 10.00 am in Di Lalla, Michelina (a lady who was accused of pouring petrol on the head of her husband to set him on fire) and at the same time in the same venue he was scheduled for delivering a Judgement in Mickoski - V - Munroe Livestock pty Ltd & Anor.
I knew for sure he has to be there to deliver the sentencing at least. So I sat in public gallery for him to look at me so that I can be sure if he was the same who attended as 'Counsel for Westpac Mr Strong'. To my surprise he definitely resembled the same. I waited to hear the voice, to recognise if the voice was same, for me it really matched.
Judge Strong firstly addressed, a few times, the crown lawyer with wrong name. The bench clerk went close to him and advised the correction. Then the judge announced the correction to all and apologised. So I believed he was the one attended my case or at the least his twin brother or a close relative must be the one who attended for Westpac.
So I complained to attorney general and other officials. But now one part is definitely confirmed that Judge Strong is NOT one and the same person as counsel Strong but the second part if he is a twin or the counsel is related to the Judge only God knows.
VCAT accommodating Bank's request not to schedule hearing on few dates, but my similar request (that I was not available on 20th March 2007) has been totally disregarded and Justice Harbison.
Though on 19 March 207, Mr Strong finished his presentation by 4.10, she didn't allow my request not to have hearing on 20th, and scheduled for early morning first case 10.00 am and made it mandatory for me to attend. Please note she is the head of anti - discrimination wing of VCAT.
Section 75 application filed on 2nd May 2007 by Westpac on my second case, to include such hearing on the already scheduled 'directions hearing' on 10th May 07. Vcat received their request on 2nd May, Vcat decided & posted on 4th May 2007, a Friday (Saturday and Sunday in Melbourne no postal delivery, so I received on 8th May 2007, Monday, but hearing was on 10th May 2007. It is usual for the court to provide 2 weeks for the respondent, myself, to file an affidavit in relation to section 75 application filed by one party, Westpac) their decision to include Section 75 hearing on 10th May 2007.

Proving compound interest and that accounting profit is manipulative, both documents proved in the court. Compound interest proof. Accounting results manipulative.
