If the plaintiff lawyer start to claim costs, watch out for his file. He will try to bullshit prove his invoices stacked nicely in the file. Request for prove of invoices and threaten with complaint to tax-office that fraudulent misrepresentation of invoice is a criminal offence. Once he wave/rise the file and walk over to the defendant lawyer or try to prove his point, that is fraudulent misrepresentation already, and is recorded in the court hearing transcript. Fraudulent misrepresentation is a police case (tax payers funded) , and it is free court case to you, the commoners.
Lawyers are license traders too and need license to work in the trade and is abide by their Code of Conduct and Practices of their profession. They will have their licence revoke, terminate if they breach their code of practices, Business Act Law and any criminal record. Chao buay lat.
Watch out for their so call 'research' on your case, cut the bull shit. They pay peanuts to their legal clerks to do their shit load for them while they go drinking at pubs, and these days got such thing as 'internship trainees' where newbie legal students have to work for free at their office in the name of work experiences. Big con job yeah!
All invoices carry a GST component, and also taxable income for the year, company tax and personal income tax. Remember company earning in excess of $1M must charge GST components. Evade paying accurate company tax and income tax is a criminal offence and these bastards are good at it. Give them the shit back.
We are all tax accountant expert because we pay personal income tax. So all businesses pay company taxes and workers, directors pay personal income taxes. All lawyer companies are under the Business Act law and must produce annual company accounting and P/L statement and pay company and personal taxes. Chao buay lat.
By assessment of their previous taxable account, each lawyer has to pay $X of company tax and personal income. Go for their jugular taxable income.
At the end of the day, learn a descent living, don't cheat. The court house, electricity and aircon, judges in the courtroom are tax payers funded premises, not a private courthouse, c/w their own judges, by the stingy scumbag lawyers. Also their uni education are tax payers funded.
So make sure they pay taxes and their earn income is in excess of hundred of thousands they are liable to pay taxes like anyone else. These bastards want good road, security and police protection, good food, high class quality life style and yet don't like to pay personal income tax.
This is how to get lawyers to behave and learn a descent living like everyone else.
Uncle went to courtroom many times sit on cases just to watch how these scumbags work on their bullshits. When come to claims they are evil and devil trying to pass their bills around, wayang.
Hope this help.
did anyone know that when one wins a court case and is awarded costs. it is not 100% of costs one gets?
and losing party still has the right to "bargain"?
so lets say for example that someone's legal fees are 400k
losing party pays 200k in costs......
so winning party still loses 200k cash.....
and these are "costs of legal fees.
there are other costs that are paid in the course of things, paid directly to suppliers of events etc that is not claimable
how does one attempt to change the "law"? by writing to CJ?
write to european court?
also does everyone know that winning party is NOT awarded damages unless one actually starts a suit to sue for damages?
