Because of the Rules of the Magistrates Court in Victoria, a Magistrate here has power to grant an injunction. Since realising this people have tried it a couple of times, without apparent success, however the Commonwealth Bank, has desisted from further attempts to take possession of a Melbourne Property, since they attempted to obtain such an injunction. They again tried in another matter last Friday, and it appears that they are now entitled to approach the Supreme Court here in Victoria, to cite the respondent on Friday for contempt of the court.
By the S 80 Trade Practices Act 1974 and 12 GD of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission ACT 2001 the court was granted power, to issue an injunction, in federal jurisdiction. Their argument is that summary possession is a State granted right, and a Judge sitting in federal jurisdiction, can issue an injunction that prevents a Judgment of a State Court obtained summarily, from being executed.
If there has been a jury trial, it wont work, so it has its advantages. That’s called Anschun Estoppel, and it works like this. If a jury trial is had, it is supposed to be a total bar, to claims not made while the litigants had the opportunity. Because the word court, uncapitalised and and generic, not specific, as in Court with a Judge, appears 21 times in Ch III Constitution, the Rudd government has been dong a lot of housekeeping, and replacing the word Court in Acts with court.
Organised crime got into the Supreme Court in New South Wales in 1970. It has gradually extended its tentacles into all the Superior Courts, and it has been as if the wheels of justice have had a flat tyre, and only roll most expensively, whereas in Victoria some Magistrates are waking up to the fact that they in fact are more powerful than the PM.
