Another Koltai Rant of a personal nature. It would appear to me that the Supreme Court in New South Wales is more interested in clearing it’s docket than ensuring that justice is served. This might be because yesterday, I lost my case (filed in March 2007) against Tricom Equities. Or it might be [...]
Late last year I was speaking to industry representatives about the outcome for the iiNet court case. They all believed that it was a lay down misère, (in favour of themselves).

“D” was something to be feared when I was a lad; especially if it was written in red on the top right corner of a homework assignment when it came back from “marking”. The recent Joel Tenenbaum case in the USA may have backfired in a bigger way than any previous litigation activity undertaken [...]

We all remember Mr. Miyagi. (The Karate Kid, Movie, 1984) Throughout history, things come and they go. To obtain the polish, the wax off procedure has to be as detailed as the wax on. Galileo – The earth is flat, the earth is round. Radio – Newspapers with 24 hour old news, Radio with [...]
