Over here in Australia, lawyer Serene Teffaha has had her licence to practice law revoked – just as she filed a class action for the housing commission residents her were locked down in their apartment buildings.
‘Dear Advocate Me Supporters,
Most of you will know that within hours of filing the first of our class actions in the Victorian Supreme Court, Serene was issued a notice from the Victorian Legal Services Board (VLSB), threatening to cancel her practicing license.
In an unprecedented and unlawful move, the VLSB has carried out this threat and consequently cancelled Serene’s practicing license. What is even more disconcerting is that this statutory body of the Victorian Government, seek to insert their own actors to take over our actions against them, creating the most obvious conflict of interest for all to see.
Shockingly, because Serene has honoured her clients’ instructions to maintain their privacy, the VLSB representatives, Lander & Rogers, they have gone so far as to seek an injunction to restrain her from being an amicus curiae, or voice and advocate for the people. Even more shocking is the fact that her rights of appeal have been usurped, as this injunction has occurred prior to the deadline for her appeal.
And now, because Serene has honoured her clients’ instructions to maintain their privacy, the VLSB representatives, Lander & Rogers, have issued an injunction in the Supreme Court of Victoria where they are seeking to access all her current and historical cases, financial information, associates, website, communication channels, social media, and emails. A hearing was set for 2.15pm today, yet Serene was only made aware of it after 7pm last night.
Consequently, the Supreme Court judge, Justice Forbes, has adjourned the matter until tomorrow at 10.30am, only allowing 1.5 hours to consider Serene’s material, meanwhile allowing the plaintiff more time to put more evidence, with 3 barristers on board, and Serene has not been given any say in the time she requires to prepare. Serene had 7 days for a right of reply, but this has been hijacked. The procedural fairness and natural justice is nowhere to be seen.
Lander & Rogers are on record saying that they want to do this to protect the clients from Serene. The same clients who have complained to the Ombudsman and Hall & Wilcox and now to the Courts!
The current actions headed by the VLSB is a violation of human rights as Serene has not been investigated by law enforcement, or charged with anything, no client complaints, no malpractice or mismanagement.
At 10.30am tomorrow, Justice Forbes will preside over the matter and we encourage anyone to email her expressing concerns over the lack of due process afforded to Serene. If you are outraged feel free to contact her via email at [SNIP – No email addresses in the comments, please. -JC].
Serene is resisting what we believe to be the unlawful attempts of the VLSB and their managers to gain access to our class action and member data, because there are inherent privacy protections for people joining a class action and Advocate Me will not surrender this information.
[SNIP – Please keep comments to 500 words or less. Longer comments can be split into multiple posts. -JC]
