After 25 months in this court I was given opportunity to have the Hearing in front of the JUDGE. I did not know that every person introduced to me as the Judge actually was Ass or Master. Even when the direction was made for the Judge and the Jury the ‘Judge’ put in charge of my case was the Master. This Judge, in front of me, was the first Judge I was allowed to have. For those 25 months I was kept in belief that I had a Judge in front of myself. That was never the case. I found this detail from the barrister I was just chatting in the waiting room, before my case was heard.

My case was on the Hearing list - wrongly spelled but it was there. The courtroom was full of clients, lawyers and Plaintiffs. I could not believe that I would have the chance to speak to the Judge.

Defendant legal side arrived – this time it was 3 of them. The new lawyer I have meet last time, the Councilor I raised allegation against and the third person who was of great concern to me.

As I was waiting to be called this man would come closer and just gaze at me. It was frightening. Councilor and the lawyer were in the Courtroom, but this man was in waiting room. He did not approach me nor said a single word to me nor was intimidatory-close, but he was looking intently at me. He was very tall, huge man, his presence was disturbing and all the fears about Authority, abuse, just made me panicky.

The Judge called my case at 10 am. The Councilor replied on Uni behalf than I told the Judge that although I am closing this matter I would like to tell the Court why I am taking this action – you can not JUST lodge the case than out of blue moon decide to withdrew. This is the court.

Every now and than Councilor and the lawyer on the way out for breakfast or brake briefly told me what’s happening in the Court. I did not wish to have any contact with the Councilor. My understanding was that if you have criminal record you cannot be in the Court in the role of barrister. I accused this Councilor of serious breach of Law, despite my accusation Phillips-Fox sent him to this Hearing, like ‘nothing happen’. But it did happen and his edgy attendance, desperately trying to be ‘cool’ told me how serious Phillips-Fox took my allegation.

The man of concern would join the ‘Team’ from time to time. Three of them would go behind the corner out of my eyesight whisperings, than this man would peek at me than again three of them would hide behind the corner in the waiting room whispering.

After the lunch the ‘Team’ went into the courtroom and I was waiting in the waiting room for the Judge to call, as it was only one case left. But this man stood opposite of me and was looking firmly right in my eyes. I was alone with him, everyone else went out as the last case was in front of Judge and there were nobody except two of us in the waiting room.

I tried to avoid his glare, felt so uncomfortable in my skin and he knew how I felt. It was obvious. He was not ‘into’ Hearing that was crystal clear, BUT was with the Phillips-Fox and I was the subject of their interest. I finally look straight in his eyes. To me, at that moment, this man looked exactly like Contract Killer from the murder mystery. I was craving to tell him that when you lose your children there is nothing else to live for. And if his job was to remove me – can he do that quickly?  Don’t let me suffer I have had enough. That’s how much I cared about my life right there. .

As his presence made me anxious, I went into the Courtroom.

Two days after the Hearing, on the 25th October I went to Registry and requested to see my file. If nobody WAS keen to tell me how much money is outstanding than I will find out myself. The only person in that Registry I raised allegation against was Ms Greenwood the Principal Registrar. However, whenever I made complain about her, she would cover herself with: “I am aware that you made allegation against my staff and me”. But it was obvious to everyone what she is doing. The staff that works in the registry always were very professional and behaving strictly by the law. Ms Greenwood was only person who did not care about policies, what she was supposed to do or not. She made her own Law and she acted accordingly 

So the staff behind the reception desk told me that I have to “seek permission and after 24 hours I could come to inspect the file. That is the law – I cannot breach the law.”

 If nobody else want to breach the law than I requested to see Ms Greenwood. She is the Registrar who breached every single policy that exist so I thought if she breached one more what difference would it make? When she met me I told her that I wish to inspect my file but the staff behind the counter ‘make problems’. Would she be able to do something?

Ms Greenwood went tosee the staff I was talking with, exchange few words than returned to me saying, can you wait 10 or 15 minutes till they brought your file?

I told her that I’m deeply grateful for her actions

She did not make light of it; she breaches the law every single day. She told me: “Your welcome”.

After 15 minutes I was given the huge file. I asked the staff who was with me when I made inspection few months ago; is she sure that this is my file?

She told me ‘probably not, as far as I remember your file was all mess and very thin. Let me check. Yes, Vesna this IS your file, but that is not possible, did you add more documents? 

 PLAINTIFF  I was not here from March. I gave Judge James few documents. Rest of the  documents he included from the family Court file – but this is enormous

Again staff acted professionally

 STAFF  Vesna I am not allowed to inspect your court file and I cannot make any comment.

 PLAINTIFF  I understand that but you need to tell me who had access to my file

She did not make any remark but she was taken aback as well as me. I opened that big folder. Inside was few folders, properly marked, dated, with the stamp of the registry, the date when it was lodged and inside every folder was every single document I ever handed in. Every single document was there, even the ‘cuts’ from newspaper that I included related to change of policies. The folder was neat as neat as it could be; now when my case was closed.

 PLAINTIFF   Can you tell me how much are the legal fees?

 STAFF  No, I’m not allowed to do that. You have to talk with duty Registrar and he will instruct you or me what to do. Or you can go to see finance manager and ask her if she can assist you.

I told her that I would return

  Finance Manager SUPREME COURT SYDNEY

 I asked the Manager what is outstanding amount and her reply was that only 2 bills are not paid added that she couldn’t give me further information. She instructed me to see the Duty Registrar and told me that in my file on every bundle of documents, should be stamp with date of payments and costs. I told her that nothing is paid, as Judge did not make any order regardless the fees

Finance Manager  That is strange. There are only 2 outstanding amounts, but that is all I can say.

  Duty Registrar SUPREME COURT SYDNEY

Duty Registrar has the same approach. I was not told about the invoice and how much, instead I was told that is very hard to obtain that info, it would take ‘years’ to collect all the bills…

 I asked the Manager what is outstanding amount and her reply was that only 2 bills are not paid added that she couldn’t give me further information. She instructed me to see the Duty Registrar and told me that in my file on every bundle of documents, should be stamp with date of payments and costs. I told her that nothing is paid, as Judge did not make any order regardless the fees

I returned to  see the folder and to my surprise I found that every few months university paid outstanding bills, MY BILLS. They paid on a regular basis just last two bills were not paid. However on the top of one folder was Ass Harrison’s statement that outstanding fees are ‘held in reserve’ until final order. Under her statement was application filled by me ‘seeking that the cost be reserved on the basis on my financial situation and paid by the party who’s defeated.’ My signature was there.

The Judges knew that the fees were paid – but they continue to threaten me with the bills.

Finally the folder that Councilor had tried to put forward to the Judge James and me  (the offer we rejected on the basis that it was not properly handed through the registry) was right in front of me. There were no stamps, no signature of any staff behind the Registry – no evidence that it was lodged properly according to the law and the policy of the Supreme Court.

 PLAINTIFF  I’m sorry, I need to ask you who put this folder in here, there is no stamp of the Registry, and I did not do it, than who  had an access to my file?

 STAFF  Everybody who wish to include document have to lodge over the counter have to be sign by JP, have to be stamped by S.C. stamp. Judge has right to see your file anytime.

 PLAINTIFF  Cannot be. Every document that Judge took on the Hearing date was stamped with his signature. There is nothing on this folder. I need an explanation.

But this was hard to explain so she returned to her desk.

So all of this what happened in the S.C. was a game for the Judges and Masters. I was never supposed to be given Judge and the Jury. Those 25 months of my life was ‘fun’ for the Court and the University was paying regularly ‘the ticket’ to attend this Game. Everything that happen was fake, the Court knew and almost certainly planed with the Phillips-Fox all of this. For them I was not a person. I was simply mentally ill migrant and the subject of ridicule. Nothing else.

CRIME IN THE SUPREME COURT REGISTRY   REPORTED TO NSW CHIEF JUDGE

SUBJECT: 20372 / 04 VS v Newcastle Uni -	March 2 '06
DOCUMENTS MISSING	ATTENTION: Chief Executive Officer and Principal Registrar: Megan Greenwood
Dear Principal Registrar, Ms.Greenwood

As you may recall I have contacted you a few times. As you could not help me I wrote a letter of complain asking you and the Registrar to forward it to the Justice Spigelman. I had a serious concern about the progress of my matter, the way Phillips-Fox behave towards me and ignore any order made by the Court. I asked Justice Spigelman to overlook this case as many statements made by Registry Officers and Ass Justice Harrison did not seem professional and correct – something I have confirmed by solicitor/s when asked for independent advice. I assume that Justice Spigelman never received my letters

As you know Phillips Fox stated once that they will not respond on any of my allegation and so far they are true to their promise. I have made complains about this too (none of those complaints were in my folder)

Their behavior towards me is absolutely inappropriate and unprofessional. In the beginning I would respond to their emails and letters out of courtesy – but I have stopped doing that. As Hearing on 11 May is closer, documents, folders, emails and affidavits that never were hand in to the registry bombard me. Affidavit is sworn in presence of another lawyer at Phillips Fox and sent to me. I asked them to cease doing this and stated clearly that only documents proper handed in to Supreme Court will be read by me. It did not help. I received more than 300 copies so far (all of that are my letters and emails sent to University)  

I am told that those documents are documents on what Defendant will rely and the same (that’s what they claim) will be handed in to the Judge one day before Hearing. It appears that all of this will never be proper handed to the Registry and what will be given to the Judge will not be investigated. I have never heard something like this before nor I have ever heard that any Court allowed this to happen. I assume that the Judge will seek an extension to read all of this, so the next Hearing might be postponed for the next year

I was left with an impression that all of that was done in an attempt to destruct me from something and as the only thing what is left is my folder in the Supreme Court I decided to inspect.

On Friday 24th January ’06 I went to the Registry and asked for an access to my file. I did not wish to send fax prior this request as I had some uneasiness about my matter in general. I told the staff there that I refuse to go until my folder is brought to me for inspection. I left my folder with the documents that I brought with myself on the counter. I had mobile and keys only.  

My folder was bunch of papers, out of order, chaotic, mixed, pages were missing, my letters to Justice Harrison with crucial evidence that relates to out of time matter was not there. Nothing was the way it was handed in – numbered and sorted by the date. For this accusation you might find some explanation and protect whoever did this.  

However, the most concerning issue were 2 Notice of Motions with attached documents. One was my affidavit with the papers of how my matter was handle by Mr. Puplick, Mr. Barbour, Mr. Debus, Mr. Rice and finally Ass Justice Hennessy.Those attachments are important and I intended to rely on it at the Hearing. Affidavit was gone, some of the attachments were missing and only one document was there – re-typed and submitted as mine.

Another document was my letter directly to Justice Harrison, the proof that I have contacted Supreme Court years ago seeking advice and was rejected. Since I am seeking extension of time that document was the basis of my argument.  I printed this emails (2 of them) in format 14, as emails were short and I wanted the Judge to see clearly on what I based my request for an extension of time. That was missing either

In the same time bunch of documents were added, copied 2 – 3 times and placed inside the folder to make it bigger and more difficult to understand

I asked who had an access to my folder and was told; except me – nobody else. When I express my concern to the staff - I was told: “That is not possible, if someone wanted any documents from your folder they would sign in here and take all folder – documents cannot be moved from here”. Before I left I have tried to put the documents in some order without much success

By the end I asked the staff to confirm that I did not take anything with me

2..On Tuesday 28 Jan ’06 I went to the Registry again. This time I have send the fax, previous day, with request for an access to my file

As I expected, SOME of the missing documents were returned. My affidavit was there, some attachments still missing. 

The most disturbing issue was the Transcript that was submitted by Justice Harrison.  

Justice Harrison replied: I didnt see it
