Run along Denny, you’ve had your play time. There’s no problem being a double yoker and eating one as well, after that into the old sanitary nappies, a cup of cocoa, a little story about Cinderella and off to nod land you go.

Is it just the marbles N-NZ or have you misplaced the bag as well? 🙂

You may need a lawyer to play in the field of law, that does not make the law right. In fact, it makes it wrong.

Dennis, I agree for all its worth (Which is nothing)

Some attempts have been made to make the law more accessable. Part of the problem may be the adversarial system. The Judge is not there to sort things out, but to listen to both sides and apply the law.

He must have known what was at stake: That if the property was sold then Chuck lost his money.

Surely the debt would still remain? What would be lost would be the opportunity to realise the property via mortgage, or to register a caveat against the title.

Kea, please don’t bring up the adversarial thing. We have had too many people criticise the adversarial system vs the inquisitorial system when they actually haven’t understood what that entails. Or which version of the inquisitorial system they are actually referring to.

Whichever system you use, it still always comes down to the judge making a decision on what the facts actually are and then applying the law.

Judges for the most part will listen, and their decisions can be appealed. Chuck simply decided to give up and has said as much many times, mindful of the costs and what he might have been unable to recover. That’s his choice and good on him, but no use bitching about it and blaming the Courts. No superior Court would freely abide an injustice, looking first at the merits of the case, why it wasn’t communicated properly, what the likely outcome would have been and so forth. Chuck simply didn’t go that far, he was down to the hour and could have communicated his situation to the Registrar but decided against doing so. It’s not even too late for him now (though his explanation why he sat on his hands would be carefully scrutinised), but he prefers moaning about others whose fault he claims it to be and does nothing to remedy his situation.

@kea

Chuck, you were offered a head set and declined.

You sound like a lawyer or judge to me. You are quoting me out of context to misrepresent the facts.

I was not offered a headset at my hearing in the High Court.

The judge in the telephone conference offered to arrange a headset for the settlement conference. I declined because it was not necessary as it was not necessary in the High Court if I had been given a fair go by the judge as there are no rules how judges are required to treat unrepresented litigants. The judge probably as a lawyer had a similar attitude to some of the lawyer on this blog towards unrepresented litigants and carried that attitude to the bar.

What you wanted was a pamphlet that gave you the same advantages as years of legal study and experience. Such a thing does not exist.

Rubbish. You are as about as bright as Cheater Borrows. I said what I expected. All is as wanted was how to respectfully request a fair go. I do not think that is too much to ask. I never had a problem with my marginal hearing loss in the District Court when I sat at the bar.

It is an outrage that ALL hearing are not recorded.

Nos, you are talking utter nonsense. I did not realise the settlement have been brought forward and the property had been sold when I went to the High Court for the main hearing. There was different judge and she was very good and fair. However, she could not allow a caveat on the property as there was a new owner. She knew I was shafted and when the lawyer asked for cost she quickly declined and gave her reason h=in her written judgement.

Would you kindly tell me how I can get my security back?

F E Smith, I was not being critical of the adversarial system. I just wonder if the inquisitorial system “may” be better suited to those unfamiliar with the law.

‘It is an outrage that ALL hearing are not recorded.’

Chuck your ‘skirting about the outskirts.’ The Judge who you decided not to name gave you a very clear (and it could be said sympathetic) indication of what legal avenues were open to you, instead of pursuing them you have instead chosen to attack the system as being at fault. Taken to it’s natural conclusion, had you followed a fairly basic course to recover your money all the other ‘handicaps’ that you feel were placed in front of you would now be of no consequence – you I think (most likely) would have won, had the opportunity for the Court to inquire into where money had been moved, and when, and if it had been deliberately ‘hidden’ to deny you being paid it would have been clawed back and other serious consequences would have followed for the other party. You made it easy for him.

Exactly, when I win my case as I should I will then look at my options. First I will make a complaint to the Law Society although not perfect against the barrister. The Law Society may not be perfect but better than the Judicial Conduct Commissioner. If I win there I will consider paying a lawyer to sue him. But before I do so I would do a cost benefit analysis as to my chance of winning and what I will get as I have done on my present case.

I have two sensible options. Firstly, walk away from the debt or do what I am doing. Paying a lawyer is not a sensible option. I mentioned this to my barrister who I employed for research and advice and she immediately mention cost benefit.

Many people have suggested the South Auckland solution which I have rejected. The piece of scum I have been told by someone I trust threated him and his wife with death if he did not comply with his demands. The guy did not go to the police as it would be his word against this crocked lawyer. He has had the good sense not to threaten me and certainly not my family. He has that much survival instinct.

The ‘lapsed’ caveat didn’t extinguish the debt, it extinguished the security – but even that was in question, in particular if it had been ‘extinguished’ in such a manner to deliberately deny your right to be paid, or unfairly to benefit the creditor to your detriment. From memory the Court didn’t make any ruling on whether the debt was owed, only on the extent and life of the security. The un-named Judge couldn’t rule on peripheral matters not contained in the papers, but he or she gave a good explanation to you about that which was very fair, and to me at least, an indication of what course you should take.

@Chuck. I don’t want to make light of your predicament, but have you considered giving Tame Iti a bell? Or you could try Fair Go. In the meantime, count yourself lucky you didn’t get shafted like Peter Ellis.

@FESmith. I have read your comments, Chuck must be very grateful you are taking the trouble to help him, in the absence of an examining magistrate being available at the time … 🙂

Nos, I believe the majority of judges are good honest people but there is a minority that is not insignificant who are arrogant low lifes like the first judge in the High Court who is likely a serial sexual predator and totally lacking in ethics.

I am dealing with a sociopath who would rather pay this scumbag lawyer $70k than pay me what he owes me. This guy inherited around a million dollar and it will soon be gone. What is left – a few thousand can easily be hidden.

“Or you could try Fair Go.”

That is certainly an option I have and am considering at the appropriate time.

It may be reasonable to keep the adversarial system in criminal law but have the inquisitorial system for civil law particularly matrimonial law. I believe the adversarial system can cause lifelong harm to children in family courts.

I also agree with F E Smith that there is no silver bullet.

I put that ‘skirting about the outskirts’ in just for you JB, knowing that you’d ‘flicked’ your skirts in a very ‘cheeky’ way in the past.

Nothing to see here Johnboy. The following things are settled and leave no room for debate.

1. AGW theory is totally discredited.

2. Griff is self medicating heavily.

3. Fags are happily married.

4. God still has not turned up to smote the doubters.

5. Mad Butcher Bain is free as a bird.

6. White people suck.

7. Men suck.

8. Capitalism sucks.

Not much else to talk about really.

Binnie Dunce may know something of the law but he knows little about sifting through information and making sense of it.”

LMAO Dennis you truly are a clown! will value the judges findings over the ex dentists ‘sifting through information and making sense of it’ or the ramblings of the JFRB cult.
Looks like you and Chuck would make a good pair for the ‘ninny’ or ‘dunce’ award

Funny for such an ‘expert’ Denny your explanations of any of the evidence are simplistic, naive and laughable. Unsubstantiated bullshit would more accurately describe most of it, hey but what would more we expect from CS!
‘ignoring compelling evidence, like the broken glasses.’
So compelling that the detective had to lie about them and perjure himself back in 1995. Such the ‘strength’ of the crown case

Kea, at least have enough guts to defame people on your own site instead of prevailing upon a site not owned by you to continue your hate speech. Why try to make DPF responsible for your defamation, give up being a gutless wonder. Then check out recent proceedings of published defamatory comments made on a host site, it might help you crap inside your own bell bottoms instead of those belonging to others.

Just realised I repeatedly referred to Chuck’s erstwhile ‘friend’ as the creditor rather than the debtor last night.

@Rowan. One thing about your not saying anything original, little man, is that there’s nothing to think about or answer. If you stumbled on the truth people would only think you were pissed. 🙂 🙂 🙂

@Nostalgia. Never mind old bean, you must sometimes eventually realise that you are in error. Keep it up. 😉
