Impending High Court Action
NEWS TODAY
I have now been infomed by Mr Phil Clarke, Manager, Manukau District Court, Family Section under the most profuse apology (from previous Systemic inaction) that the Lawyers for the Ministry of Justice have taken onboard the Orders of Judge Rogers and are themselves providing the Case Stated Appeal to have her Orders fulfilled by the High Court determining an answer to two questions of legislative significance answered.
Contrary to the advice given by Crown Law and the Counsel for the Crown, being, that this matter should now have to be taken up by myself and I should seek indepedant legal advice to have the matter progressed.
I have personally thanked Mr Clarke for his persistence to continually try and advance the matter when requested and ultimately we have now prevailed.
However, he is unsure as to any protocols involved, like all involved in this testing of the System and the mechanics for Justice.
As this Test of Legislation is of little merit to me personally, but is significant, ethically and morally to the general public who may find themselves situated likewise, I am and have been avidly pursuing recourse to address the scenario.
For further details on this matter refer http://menz.org.nz/2007/commissioner-for-ird-refuses-to-come-out-of-the-corner/
and http://familycourtnewzealand.bravehost.com/childsupport.html
Thanks to all who have assisted in bringing this pertinent matter to a point where resolution might be acheived.
Judge Rogers, Phil Clarke and many from the ranks of the Fathers Coalition who have provided an avenue and /or support to adddress this anomaly of perceived injustice.
Kind Regards
Paul Catton

Mr Phil Clarke can only be described as a real gentleman and friend of Justice and compassion. Many times when fathers were grief struck by decisions and processes or just needed a friendly word of good sense or encouragement Mr Clarke was there for them. He was always fair despite the fact that his own court manager and Family Court Co-ordinator were often tryants.
I am very pleased to hear he has taken a Court Managers job and I hope he still manages to get back to his beloved Waihi on a regular basis.

Well done again Paul. If you read my comments on the MCNS, you will see that I have again promoted you as our most effective, experienced and likely capable candidate to coordinate the binding and reunification of menz issues. This could be done under the significantly weakened but still historically sound MCNS. All it requires is energy.
As I said in that post, Julie has already crafted a notch in the Waitakere district and is open for that energy to be picked up by MCNS. All it needs is for someone to take the energy, learn a bit about COGS and take an iniative.
Feminism, as it is and has damaged masculinity will not be strong enough to withstand men, fathers for the children born of their bodies to stand united. The Union of Fathers would stand by you, I am sure and you know that the fatherscoalition is an unconditional body standing to protect the functional necessities of fatherhood, so you have those resources (immediately) that you would use directly at your disposal.
Think about it, and then maybe Julie could send you copies of the proper forms to fill out. I’ll help you develop a programme.
The MCNS still has to make decision under qurom, so there shouldn’t be a problem of taking the issue to a meeting and getting a binding decision.
What are you looking for $50,000 PA and a programme plan based around starting principles of say… $50,000. We can fit the principles into this package, work out the priorities and relevant applications to those priorities in no time at all: promise.
Why not?
Most respectfully,
Benjamin Easton.

Dear Ben,
Thank you for your kind comments and an advocacy for me to platform the injustices that predominantly men face in a feminist engineered society.
However, I feel that this is probably not the avenue that I am destined to take, and personally, I feel that I should step back from these gender issues when resolution is finally presided by the High Court upon the only outstanding proceedings regarding my case file.
A date has been set in the High Court for a Judicial Conference being 27th November 2007 at 9.00am.
Crown Law would appear still to be involved in this process, the Registrar has indicated that I need to file a Memorandum and questioned as to what legal representation I have acting for my behalf.
Again, I had to point out that a Judge has referred two questions for the second tier of Judiciary for answer regarding a legislative black hole and that I am only involved to have her Orders complied with at this stage.
Any submission I will provide to the Court will be when the Court has a true fixture to determine the questions proffered by Judge Rogers and the merits she wishes answered.
The Conference is a pre-amble to oil the wheels of the Legal Industry, rape the taxpayer and feel good regarding processes established.
I concur generally with what you say, and agree there are too few of us who do far too much, and a great many have a debt of gratitude that they should remit with some type of compensatory form.
Money, Time, Services, Knowledge, Skills or all form of assistance to spread the workload.
How we help each other determines our success or failure for ourselves and our legacy.
Kind Regards
Paul

Not a problem Paul,
I will try and get to Auckland for the 27th.
Pity though, I spent a bit of time today figuring out the base of a plan. As you are aware, my challenge is more directly at forcing the changes rather than implimenting the alternatives. I am most happy to assist in designing the alternative approaches to the problem, but after a while it doesn’t take that much to run out of practical ability to do “quickly” the very many things that need so desperately so to be done.
To your very good health sir.
Benjamin.
