    Hi Batty, hope you are well. If it does go to trial it will be a jury to determine his fate. This is where a QC or Senior Counsel earn their money. Each will try to discredit the opposing witnesses and expose the flaws of their case in cross-examination of witnesses and facts. Remembering, the...

    Very sus, and everytime it is always the same (the story starts to change and turn). Thats why I am never able to believe any reports from anywhere, until you hear both sides in a hearing. First he came from the dance with a knife, now he is climbing walls, tomorrow he arrived in a helicopter.

    Finally, counsel was mentioned for Fainu. The sling and the darkness will be two very important issues in the case for both parties.

    Hi MuzztheEagle, I am assuming you are referring to expedite? To get priority you must show that someone is suffering a grossly unjust, or inhumane situation. Regardless of employment status, we work around the court schedule first, then our schedule. So in brief (NO).

    All three. Generally it is the first available slot, however, should that be inconvenient for either the prosecution/defence they negotiate a date that is convenient for everyone. It also depends if all housekeeping is in order, like briefs of evidence sent/received, no discrepancies in...

    Hi Kevinward777, Generally speaking when a client is in remand, counsel usually use that to their advantage/leverage to expedite the hearing date if the client is pleading "not guilty", as the defendant could be facing an injustice. The fact that Manase is out, it will not affect the time...

    Extremely happy for Fainu. Never in doubt, that at a bare minimum the Magistrates decision had to be challenged. As the grounds and reasonings given by the Magi, were, well.... rather ridiculous. I just hope Manase doesn't get into any further dramas before his trial date (if trial is required)...

    https://legal.thomsonreuters.com.au/lawbriefs-torts/productdetail/122240 They seem to be published by Thomson Reuters these days, these are essentially the same briefs just not lexisNexis.

    Hi Indy0204, the article states that a committal will take place on the 16 Dec 2019. I also was under the impression that this was the procedure, however, I do not reside in NSW and do not keep myself updated with changes to NSW procedures (unless required).

    Hi Ellakasmar, hope you are well. I am sure that you are probably aware, but back when I was doing my degree about 10 years ago there were these little textbooks called law briefs from LexisNexis (I believe) for most units, these little gems are invaluable. I am not sure if they are still around...

    My apologies SeaEagleRock8, you are correct it seems the reform took place on 30 April 2018. It seems to be substituted with charge certification and case conferencing. Thanks for bringing that to light because I would have continued to be misguided. Regarding the second point about bail, I...

    Not sure MightyEagles because we don't have Manase as a client and we don't work for the prosecution, unless of course you do engage with either party, then you can share some light on which witnesses will be called by their respective counsel.

    Yes Shoe1 that is correct, but the prosecution have to get over the committal stage first.

    2020 hooker (and Fainu disc.)

    I highly doubt any witnesses that the defence needs to call upon, should the matter proceed to trial, that they will point to Manase. More importantly, if alcohol was a key factor as you say that may be very problematic for all witnesses. There seems to be a misconception that the more...

    2020 hooker (and Fainu disc.)

    Hi MuzztheEagle, hope you are well. It is very difficult to give a clear cut answer because it totally depends on what legal representative you engage, court schedules, and what sort of case the prosecution has against Manise. The scenarios are several. If the case was to run without any...

    No, it's a separate offence, although police routinely over-charging is a thing. There are far too many variables in a case like this to speculate. We'll all have to wait patiently to see how this unfolds (unfortunately). I totally agree SeaEagleRock8, we absolutely have no where near enough...
