 When you have decided to dispute a matter in court and filed the statement of claim in the court, the next step is to serve your claim on the defendant (other party). The purpose of ‘serving’ a claim is to notify the other party of your intention to bring a matter to court. It also provides them with an opportunity to defend the claim. The defendant may be an individual or a corporation or trust. If the defendant is an unincorporated entity then you will need to find out who the person is who has been trading as that business.If you are already engaging in correspondence with the other party about your dispute, they may have appointed a lawyer to liase with you. If this is the case then ask them have they appointed legal representation and if so then will the lawyer accept service of your statement of claim. If they do, you can serve the claim directly to the lawyer.You can serve a claim through:

• personal service; or 
• postal service.

The plaintiff can personally serve a statement of claim to individuals and companies at their registered office. It isn’t sufficient to simply pop the statement of claim into their letterbox.Make sure you get the name of the person accepting service, address, date and time so you can enter this information on your affidavit of service.Alternatively, you can pay a process server to serve a statement of claim on a defendant personally. A process server is someone that you can hire to issue statement of claims to opponents. You and the court can both serve company defendants via postal service. However, only a court can serve an individual through the post. It is important to serve the defendant at the correct address as the defendant needs to be aware that the claim exists. If the defendant is not served at their business or residential address then they may claim they had no knowledge of the documents. There are exceptions to this.Postal service can be a cheaper option, but it can be unreliable as there is a risk that the defendant may not receive the claim. Consequently, if you receive a default judgment on the defendant, the judgment may be set aside if the defendant was not validly served with a copy of the claim. Sometimes defendants avoid service by avoiding to answering the door or refuse to let you onto their property. This is known as ‘keeping house’. If you can establish this behaviour with the court, then you can leave the statement of claim at the letterbox. Or, you could attach it to their property in a place where they will see it. You will need to show the court how they evaded service.Additionally, the court can make orders for substituted service. This refers to orders for service that are not in person. Sometimes, service can even be issued via social media. Essentially, you need affidavit evidence that explains:

• why you have been unable to      serve the statement of claim;
• the alternate ways that the      claim could be brought to the attention of the defendant; and
• how you know that serving      the claim in that manner will result in it being effectively served.

Process servers have experience and know what to do if they come across an evasive defendant. After service has been effected it is usual process to complete a sworn affidavit of service which is written evidence that the plaintiff have served the defendant with the claim.This affidavit should be filed with the court before the court date. .

 If you are having trouble serving your divorce application on your spouse, this fact sheet may help you. It explains the two options you have when you cannot serve your divorce application on your spouse – ‘substituted service’ or ‘dispensation of service’. A Court order is required for both options. 

APPLICANT – a person who has made an application to the Court.

PARTY – each of the people involved in a case is known as a party.

ORDER – a set of directions made by the Court that must be followed by each party.

RESPONDENT – a person who responds to an application.

Service is the process of sending or giving court documents to a party. The documents must be filed with the Court before service can take place. Service ensures that all parties have received the documents filed with the Court.

If after making all reasonable attempts you cannot serve your divorce application on your spouse, you can apply to the Court for:· substituted service, or· dispensation of service.

A Allows you to serve court documents on a third person who the Court is satisfied will bring the court documents to the attention of your spouse.

A You do not need to serve court documents on your spouse if the Court is satisfied that you have made all reasonable attempts to find your spouse.

You should seek legal advice before applying for substituted service or dispensation of service. You can seek legal advice from a:· legal aid office· community legal centre, or· private law firm.Court staff can help you with questions about court forms and the court process, but cannot give you legal advice. 

To apply to the Court for substituted service or dispensation of service, you need to complete an application in a case and affidavit, which are available at www.federalcircuitcourt.gov.au. You need to explain all the steps you have taken to locate your spouse (the respondent) in your affidavit, for example:· What attempts, efforts and enquiries you made to find the respondent.· When you last saw, spoke to or communicated in any way with the respondent, and the circumstances of that sighting or communication.· The last known address of the respondent.· Who are the respondent’s nearest relatives and friends, what enquiries you made of these people about the respondent and any replies received.· What employment, if any, the respondent had.· What enquiries you made with the respondent’s last known employer and any replies received.· Details of any current child support or maintenance arrangements or orders. If correspondence has been received from the Department of Human Services (Child Support), attach a copy to your affidavit.· Details of any property, bank accounts or businesses jointly owned.· If the respondent lives overseas, details about the country they are living in, how long they have lived there and if they plan to travel or move back to Australia.· Any reasons why the respondent may not be contactable.· The costs of trying to locate the respondent and whether such costs are creating financial difficulties for you.· Any other relevant information that may help the Court.

· An application for substituted service or dispensation of service related to a divorce application will usually be listed on the same day and time as the divorce hearing.· If you have applied for substituted service or dispensation of service, you should attend the court hearing. You may be required to give more information to the Court. This applies even if you have chosen not to attend the hearing on your Application for Divorce.· The Court may adjourn your case and direct you to take extra steps to find the respondent. For example, to send a letter to the respondent’s relatives or friends, search the electoral roll or advertise in a local, national or overseas newspaper.This fact sheet provides general information only and is not provided as legal advice. If you have a legal issue, you should contact a lawyer before making a decision about what to do or applying to the Court. The Family Court of Australia and Federal Circuit Court of Australia cannot provide legal advice. 

As Australians are suffering through the Covid 19 pandemic, the police are handing out fines at a record rate. There is no compassion shown.

Police from all States have been accused of being cruel and unforgiving in order to raise revenue for the state. It should be noted that it was, in particular in Victoria, the state government that created this mess that we all see ourselves in through their utter mismanagement of the Covid pandemic.

As police have attempted to enforce social distancing restrictions, many members of our community have been issued on the spot fines for not wearing masks, not practising social distancing and not adhering to crowd numbers.

Police have been issuing huge $349 fines to drivers using their mobile phones whilst stopped in ques outside clinics for very lengthy periods. The Police claim it is illegal to use mobile phones at any time while behind the wheel.

The police have received quite a backlash from the Covid community for practicing what amounts to Gestapo tactics. However, as many point out, this is time for understanding and compassion and Police could have just as easily issued reminders and warnings, as opposed to fines.

Meanwhile the government has been calling on people to get tested.

With the New South Wales numbers growing – now at around 95 cases – and many people locked out of Queensland and Victoria unable to spend long-anticipated time with family and friends over Christmas, the outbreak has been a huge emotional blow.

Most States have closed their borders to New South Wales, with entry not allowed to anyone from a declared hot spot. 

Queensland has reinstated border checkpoints and commuters are required to have a pass. One Sydney woman has already been fined over $5,000 for trying to illegally cross the border. Victoria also now requires travellers to present a pass at the border. Airports are putting their own plans in place to deal with arrivals and departures.

Governments must act quickly to quell the rising numbers of the infected.

Speeding cameras, red light cameras, using a mobile phone while driving are examples of driving offences which lead to heavy fines in New South Wales. Smaller fines may be issued for parking longer than permitted, not stop at stop sign and a large range of other harmless offences.Fines can be issued by police officers, council rangers, transit police which are all collected on by Revenue NSW. This agency manages the penalties and infringement notices.Simply put, if you are alleged to have been caught breaking the rules, you’ll be issued with a fine or penalty notice. Some offences also come with demerit points, an accumulation of which can result in driver’s license suspension or cancellation.You have a choice as to pay the fine or dispute it by mail or in court.Failing to pay by the due dateIf you fail to pay by the due date, you’ll be issued with a reminder notice which directs you to pay the fine within 28 days.If you fail to do that, you can be charged an ‘overdue’ fine of $65 on top of the original fine, or $25 if you are under the age of 18.If you fail to pay at that point, there are often further consequences. Revenue NSW can issue an enforcement order, and this can result in the suspension or cancellation of your driver licence, cancellation of your vehicle registration, or court action to get a property seizure order.

From 1 July 2020, the New South Wales Government implemented changes aimed at making the payment of fines easier for anyone experiencing financial hardship.A fifty percent reduction in the fine may apply to Centrelink payment recipients.To have your personal circumstances considered, you must contact Revenue NSW and they will conduct an assessment of your situation to see whether the fine can be paid in full on a payment plan, or resolved through a work development order, which allows people to reduce their fines in exchange for unpaid work or participation in courses or treatment programs.

If you believe that you have been fined in error, or that there were special circumstances which led to the offence that mean you have been fined unfairly; for example, you weren’t driving the car at the time of the alleged offence, You can request a review under the Fines Act 1996, Division 2A.You can do this over the phone, or with a letter, but the easiest way is online. You need:

• proof of your identity such as your address, date of birth or      driver licence number
• your penalty notice number
• the date of the offence
• any supporting evidence

There are three potential outcomes of such a  review: the penalty remains, you are let off with a caution, or the penalty is cancelled.

You can also elect to challenge the fine in court, but you cannot do this while your fine is under review. You should be aware that there are costs involved with going to court and a court can impose greater penalties if you are ultimately found guilty of an offence.If you are considering challenging the fine, or the outcome of the review, then seek professional legal advice from a lawyer experienced in traffic matters before proceeding.Once you ‘elect’ to contest the fine, the matter will proceed to court. 

The now ExGovernor General,  Peter Cosgrove said words of the Oath correctly (under the Constitution  Act 1901) but he spoke then  under the commission of the fake Queen of Australia,  so his Oath is also invalid. The Political Parties removed “humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God” from their Acts and Queen of Australia commissions.  The Political Parties “God” is nothing but an abstract Entity on a piece of paper – That is TREASON. 

This is the proper Oath I,  A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her  Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her heirs and successors according to law.  SO HELP ME GOD!   Remember that the Queen vowed to … “uphold the  laws of God” as in the true 1611 King James Bible of 80+ books.  Bibles  with only 66 books are incomplete. 

Scott and Joshua used the phrase, “Queen of Australia”  This fictional term is a corporate criminal treasonous racket that goes  back to the days of lawyer/pm Gough and his mates, who, in an attempt  to rid Our Constitutional Monarchy heritage and Imperial Law, (emanating  from the Ten Commandments, ie the best rules ever to enable people to  live together in any society) and put into the document accepted by the  people of Australia via Referendum, https://larryhannigan.com/constitution-2/   see all items below it also

Australia = Political  Parties definition of Australia created in 1973 by changing the  Constitutional Definitions without a Referendum. The Contrary  definitions has never appeared. = TREASON 

Her Majesty, is NOT Her Most Excellent Majesty  Elizabeth  the Second by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain  and Northern Ireland and of Our other Realms & Territories Queen,  Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith,

Queen of Australia = Abstract Entity (writing on a piece of paper) created by TOTALLY CORRUPT POLITICAL PARTIES after they used TREASON to change the Constitutional Definitions in 1973. Their “Queen of Australia”  Entity does NOT include the title Defender of the Faith.

God – This so  called God is another Abstract Entity. The TOTALLY CORRUPT POLITICAL  PARTIES in conjunction with so called CHURCH LEADERS didn’t Consolidate  from OUR Constitution the words of the Preamble.  “humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God” – ie Our Father who art in Heaven.  NOT Lucifer, Allah,  or any other “God”

All the above words in red  =  TREASON 

Better lawful minds than the writer, and Not  lawyers,..are asserting that this is a manifestation of treason by Scott  Morrison, and Joshau Frydenberg. Treason, once proven, means Life in  Jail,…FOR LIFE !

Corporatisation is about the bulk of us as Slaves, not shareholders that should derive a dividend…., and  the modus operandi of the Govt is  power-profit-posing-positioning-piffling-pontification..etc. section 44  of our Constitution deals with profiteers in parliament.

So we have a new face as PM, the usual honey moon period, then it’ll be the same all over again.  The  above should be of great concern to true blue Aussies,…Morrison also is  hell bent on bringing 100’s of thousands of foreigners,…and previous  pollies who were similarly hell bent on ACTING FOR FOREIGNERS AND NOT  US,…GIVING $90+ $millions away to a foreign charities.

Then there is Frydenberg as Treasurer in charge of our money system ! … a worry ?

Did you know that the  First World War “cost” £350 million, aside from lives lost. Sir Denison  Miller, who arranged OUR OWN MONEY SYSTEM back then, merely wrote off  this cost after the war, having arranged such monies on the basis of our  farming and mineral wealth, and when queried on this, in Britain in  1922, said, we could do the same again in peace time. He died a year or  two later ,.. just before privatisation of banks, then the arranged  crash in ‘29.

PM Scot Morrison, needs to take a leaf out of Millers book  just like the Apostle Peter, obeying  Christ, goes to the lake and  plucks the coin/drachma/shekel and pays the tax…..  money created out of  thin air, is not dismissively a fishy tale.  Read and understand a  proper debt free/interest free $$ system to finance infrastructure – https://larryhannigan.com/banks/the-story-of-the-commonwealth-bank/

Hong Kong residents have stepped up their protests against the Chinese communist government attempting to exert its authority in Hong Kong.

On Saturday 31st August 2019 Hong Kong residents allegedly started throwing petrol bombs at government buildings and in return the Police fired volleys of tear gas and blue dye at the protesters. The blue dye is used to identify protesters after they have left the scene so they may be arrested at a later date.

It appears this chaos is  not abating as both sides step up their actions.

Could this be another  Tiananmen Square  in the making ?

Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched on government house in a show of defiance against the Hong Kong government attempting to legislate for the extradition of residents to mainland China.

The Hong Kong Government lead by Carrie Lam has attempted to shut down the protests by arresting protesters and their ring leaders during the week.

On Saturday protesters marched down Hennessey Rd towards Government house. The police flew helicopters overhead and filmed the incident.

Police snipers were seen taking shots at the crowds with gas canisters.

The government has banned protests but obviously the message is being ignored.

Tourists passing through Hong Kong airport have been warned to stay in their hotels until the protests subside.

 On the occasion process servers are required to serve documents on people of no fixed address who may be sleeping rough.

The term "homeless person" may include:

a) People living with friends or family on a  irregular basis

b) Living on the streets whether in a park or vehicle

The best place to start your location enquiries is the subjects last known place of abode/residence. The current occupants may have useful information as to their whereabouts. Their maybe some mail addressed to your subject.This address may still be used as a care of address for post and the subject may visit on the occasions to collect the mail.Also consider conducting door knocks at previous addresses as the subject may have drifted back there.

It could be a good idea to leave your contact details with the occupants. This maybe counter productive if you suspect the subject wishes not to be located.

The Red Cross and various religious institutions in the local area may know the subject and quite often will offer to deliver a message to them. Obviously due to privacy concerns they may not release information to you.

It would be a good idea to speak to other homeless people in the area. We recommend you bring a photograph of the subject as he/she may have been known by various names or aliases.

Lastly don't forget to check the local  obituaries. 

 The legal termination of a marriage is referred to by different names,  Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage being the two most well-known.  Couples seeking a divorce must obtain one via a court judgment, after  which they will be awarded a judicial decree which declares that the  marriage is dissolved. After a divorce has been legally finalized, both  parties are free to remarry, pending time restrictions in some  jurisdictions, which vary.  

Divorce orders may address various issues depending upon the specific  circumstances of the parties to the divorce, such as whether there is  property to be divided and/or children for whom provisions must be made.  Therefore, when applicable, these orders may deal with matters such as  property and bill division, alimony or spousal support, child custody,  visitation, and child support, as well as any other pertinent matters  that the court judges to be relevant and necessary.  

When a divorce action is initiated, it may be brought by either or both  parties and may be contested or uncontested. When both spouses desire  the divorce and are able to come to an agreement on the relevant issues,  they may obtain an uncontested divorce, which allows them to proceed  through the court process far more easily and quickly than when there  are unresolved issues. These uncontested divorces are the most common.  Quite often these types of divorces are obtained without legal counsel.   

A smaller group of married couples, though, are unable or unwilling to  reach an agreement with regard to the termination of their marriage and  the ensuing issues. These contested divorces take a great deal longer,  make it necessary to retain legal counsel, and usually require judicial  intervention to come to a conclusion and obtain orders regarding the  relevant issues.  

Each state creates its own laws, codes, statutes and rules for handling  the termination of a marriage as well as the other associated factors.  Common law in each state also plays a role. Because of this, there is no  uniformity, and instead divorce laws, policies and procedure often vary  greatly from one state jurisdiction to the next. 

As it happens every winter, the marketing push for receiving a flu  shot continues. CVS is offering a 20% shopping pass when you get your  flu shot.  They are also marketing a high-dose vaccine, which is of  course more profitable for the manufacturer and the pharmacy, but there  are plenty of reasons to be wary of it — especially for seniors.

Fluzone®  High-Dose is an injectable vaccine, specifically approved for people  ages 65 and older. Manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur, this shot contains  three flu strains and four times more antigen (substance that causes an  immune response) than regular flu shots, claims CVS Pharmacy (Rite Aid also offers it and admits that “more studies are being done” to see whether it actually offers an improvement at all).

The  pharmacy does admit that the vaccine is not recommended for anyone who  has experienced an adverse reaction (especially Guillain-Barré syndrome)  to vaccines in the past.

But between their marketing campaigns and promoting a 20% shopping coupon, they omitted a vital piece of information: 105  seniors died after taking part in two Fluzone high-dose vaccine trials,  and 91 died after getting the regular Fluzone vaccine.

No one anticipates that  their marriage will result in a divorce, just as no one anticipates that  their financial life will result in bankruptcy. Going through a divorce  or declaring bankruptcy are stressful enough on their own, but what if  both are happening at the same time? For some people, divorce and  bankruptcy will go hand in hand.

People who declare bankruptcy around the  same time as they get divorced often find that declaring bankruptcy with  their partner can have its advantages. Even if you and your spouse are  eager to split as quickly as possible, you may find many benefits to  declaring bankruptcy jointly.

A joint case can save money

Working  together may not be an option for all couples, but those who are  amicable can save some money by filing for bankruptcy together. When  spouses declare bankruptcy together, it is referred to as a joint case.  In a joint case, there is only one filing fee, one set of paperwork to  fill out and one meeting with creditors. ** joint debt 

If you share joint debt with your spouse,  declaring bankruptcy before can absolve you from having to pay it.  Declaring bankruptcy after your divorce, however, may not: Many divorce  settlements require both spouses to share responsibility for their  debts. Filing for bankruptcy on your own may release you from debt with  your creditor, but a court could still order you to pay a hefty share in  your divorce settlement. Conversely, if your spouse files for  bankruptcy before the divorce, they could eliminate their liability on  your joint debts and you may very well be stuck paying them.

Double your exemption amounts

Filing  for bankruptcy doesn't meant that you will lose all of your  possessions. You will be allowed some exemptions in order to make a  fresh start. Generally, exemptions are limited to a certain dollar  amount, though this varies case by case. If you and your spouse file  bankruptcy jointly, your exemption amounts can double. A larger  exemption means more stuff that you and your spouse get to keep. 

 If you've been arrested for weed in Illinois, you can breathe a sigh of relief.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker just signed HB 1438 this week, which makes cannabis legal in the state for  individuals 21 and over, along with sweeping criminal criminal justice  reforms designed to help those whose lives have been upended by the  state's drug laws.In  addition to legalizing marijuana, the  610-page bill offers relief to  the roughly 770,000 residents of the state with marijuana-related  offenses on their criminal records, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

The  state's new Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, which takes effect in  2020, allows people to automatically receive clemency for convictions up  to 30 grams of cannabis. Those convicted with larger amounts, from  30-500 grams can petition a court to have the charge lifted.The  bill defines expunge to mean to "physically destroy the records or  return them to the petitioner and to obliterate the petitioner's name  from any official index or public record, or both." But it doesn't  require the physical destruction of circuit court files.The  bill also includes a "social equity program," which makes it easier for  those with marijuana convictions to get business licenses. The program  also allocates $12 million for startup businesses related to cannabis,  as well as funding for job training programs in the state's cannabis  industry, the Marijuana Policy Project says.The  state's Department of Agriculture and its community college board are  creating pilot programs to get people ready to work in the newly legal  industry, and the state will require them to focus on enrolling the low  income students into those programs.

Gov. Pritzker is fulfilling a promise he made on the campaign trail, and is making Illinois the 11th US state to legalize recreational marijuana. So far 18 states have decriminalized marijuana, the MPP says, and in all 34 states allow patients with health complaints to use medical marijuana.And Illinois is the latest state to offer clemency for marijuana convictions. Last month Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed a law that gave marijuana offenders the ability to have their sentences vacated in the state.

“The first vaccine they thoroughly  tested was Infanrix Hexa – a six-in-one vaccine manufactured by  GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) that is *supposed* to contain the following  antigens: tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis toxoids; inactivated  poliomyelitis viral strains 1-2-3; and hepatitis B surface antigen.  Shockingly, Corvelva found NONE of these antigens in the vaccine,  meaning, that NO antibodies to the intended antigens will be created.”  (from the article) 

I’ve been saying for YEARS that we need to raise $50k to have every  vaccine tested to see what is REALLY coming through that needle. This  clearly came into focus for me in 2009, with the H1N1 “Swine flu”  fiasco. So many people were injured and a big spike in miscarriages and  stillbirths was reported. I started asking loudly: “What’s IN that stuff? We should test those vials” Well, it’s finally happening.With the onset of government vaccine mandates, which suddenly  required Italian children to be injected with 11 vaccines to attend  school, the Italians are fighting back. First, they voted out the  government that pushed for the mandates calling their movement  #GovenmentofChange. Then on December 4, the new Italian health minister kicked out all 30 members of the health policy advisory board.On December 13, Corvelva, a scientific research group, announced it had received €10,000 (US$11,350) from the Italian National Order of Biologists with  plans to use the money to test the contents of every vaccine currently  on the market. The result of their first test was released on December  16, and the report is a doozie.You certainly won’t hear this in the MSM.The first vaccine they thoroughly tested was Infanrix Hexa – a  six-in-one vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) that is  *supposed* to contain the following antigens: tetanus, diphtheria and  pertussis toxoids; inactivated poliomyelitis viral strains 1-2-3; and  hepatitis B surface antigen. Shockingly, Corvelva found NONE of these  antigens in the vaccine, meaning, that NO antibodies to the intended  antigens will be created.And it gets worse. In addition to no vaccine antigens, they found the following:

• traces of 65 chemical cross-contaminants from other manufacturing lines;
• chemical toxins;
• unrecognizable macromolecules;
• various free bacterial peptides that are potential allergens and are capable of inducing autoimmune reactions.

These findings could bring justice to parents who lost  their children in 2009 when 36 children died and more than 1,700 were  injured in a “clinical trial” – the nice name for human experimentation.I suspect that as they continue to test each of the vaccines in the  childhood schedule, they will find metallic compounds, nanotechnology  and a long list of chemical contaminants. At some point, the work  previously published by the Gattis’ will be vindicated. I wrote about  their shocking findings in a previous article that you can find here.Infanrix Hexa is used widely in the international market. The vaccine  is all risk and literally no benefit. Its use should be stopped  immediately, pending future investigation. If their testing continues to  reveal ever more inconsistencies, GSK could be in serious legal  problems for inappropriate labelling, poor manufacturing processes and  perhaps even charged with murder.SOURCEhttps://realnewsaustralia.com/2018/12/20/infanrix-hexa-65-toxins-found-all-risk-no-benefit/
