25.01.2022 On 31 March 2020 the Australian government released emergency legislation that places stringent conditions upon the movement of individuals during the COVID-19 crisis, but the question is what does this mean for you?

23.01.2022 Today our client was found Not Guilty of aiding and abetting a Central Coast based "body modifier" in the removal of the labia minora of an adult female complainant. There was never any suggestion by the Prosecution that our client played a part in the physical procedure. The complainant consented to the procedure and had engaged in several other voluntary body modifications previously. Our client had serious concerns about this "body modifier" and reported his conduct to the... police and other agencies on numerous occasions prior to this procedure. Those agencies took no action at the time. Despite our clients efforts to blow the whistle and expose this behaviour, he was charged.

14.01.2022 On Friday last week the Prosecution withdrew serious drug supply charges against our client after they decided not to appeal a decision by Judge Tupman to exclude the entire Prosecution case against our client in circumstances where the Police had conducted an illegal search (the Police had essentially carried out a drug search under the guise of the Firearms Prohibition Order legislation) Here is the article from yesterday's SMH about what we consider an important decision o...n a topical area. "Shaitly's solicitor Lauren MacDougall said Parliament had recognised the need to protect citizens from unjustified entry into their home when it enacted the legislation and the case had established significant breaches from those safeguards. "Her Honour’s decision should not be regarded as protecting Mr Shaitly, but rather, as protecting the rights that Parliament requires of all citizens," Link to the decision: https://www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/dec/5df9884ee4b0ab0bf6074b4b ** This post was approved by our client

06.01.2022 Yesterday we appeared for Gary Jubelin, the former lead investigator in the William Tyrrell case, who was convicted and fined $10,000 in April after a magistrate found he illegally recorded four conversations during the investigation into the toddler's disappearance. He is appealing against the sentence and findings of guilt in the District Court. A decision will be made on 18 September.

04.01.2022 Yesterday our client, Yunxiang Gao was found Not Guilty by a Jury in relation to multiple charges of sexual assault. Our client lost his reputation, his career and was forced to spend 2 years away from his home in a foreign country under strict bail conditions. Some of the Jury broke down in tears as their verdict was delivered. Mr Gao has a long way to go to rebuild his life but we are so pleased we were able to achieve this result for him after a very difficult few years. Ricky Korn and Abdul Karim Tlais of this office worked with Murugan Thangaraj SC and John Korn of Counsel to achieve this outcome.

02.01.2022 Female genital mutilation is a charge usually reserved for those who engage in cultural practices performed on children - not voluntary genital cosmetic surgery. On 4 May 2020 our client will defend a charge that he aided and abetted a Central Coast based "body modifier" in the removal of the labia minora of an adult female complainant. There is no suggestion by the Prosecution that our client played a part in the physical procedure. The complainant consented to the procedu...re and had engaged in several other voluntary body modifications previously. Our client had concerns about this "body modifier" and reported his conduct to the police and other agencies on numerous occasions prior to this procedure. Those agencies took no action at the time. Despite our clients efforts to blow the whistle and expose this behaviour, he was charged. This case raises some important questions about what constitutes legitimate medical or therapeutic intervention and what amounts to criminal activity. ** This post was approved by our client
