Title: Thomo will face even MORE charges Post by Maqqa on Mar 1st, 2013 at 5:26pm

Lawyers for federal MP Craig Thomson say a civil penalty case against him should be postponed because it would "mingle the matters up" if it was heard at the same time as his criminal charges. Fair Work Australia (FWA) will try to push ahead with the civil case, arguing there are matters in the lawsuit that are not part of the criminal matter. FWA barrister Stephen Donaghue SC told the Federal Court sitting in Melbourne that a comparison of the cases showed matters including election expenditure were not included in the criminal charges, which included counts such as the alleged use of a credit card to hire escorts. Mr Donaghue said the case should be split and matters not related to the criminal charges should still proceed. "There are discrete parts of this proceeding that overlap almost precisely with the subject matter of the criminal charges," he said. "There are other parts of this proceeding which we submit do not overlap at all with the criminal charges." Mr Thomson's barrister Jim Pearce, who appeared via videolink from Sydney, told Justice Christopher Jessup the entire civil proceeding should be stayed until the criminal matter is concluded. Another Thomson lawyer, Chris McArdle, was asked by reporters outside the court why the legal team was arguing for a stay of the civil matters until the criminal case was completed. "We think that would mingle the matters up," Mr McArdle said. Justice Jessup adjourned the application to stay the case until April 18. He also granted permission for the Health Services Union (HSU) to appear in the case in a limited role. FWA alleges the former Labor MP misused union funds when he was the HSU national secretary between 2002 and 2007, using credit cards to spend thousands of dollars on personal expenses including prostitutes. Thomson is also facing 154 criminal charges of fraud, alleged to have been committed while he was national secretary of the HSU. He has vowed to fight the charges and will next appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court for a committal mention on May 22. Outside court on Friday, Thomson's lawyer spoke of the toll the cases were taking on the MP from the NSW central coast. "He's very stressed, you'd have to be stressed," he said. "This constant torment is stressing him and his family." |

If I were the police, I would be worried the evidence the FWA gathers is going to be locked away from their view, as that is FWA policy.

Division 4—General provisions relating to civil remedies 554 Criminal proceedings after civil proceedings Criminal proceedings may be commenced against a person for conduct that is substantially the same as conduct constituting a contravention of a civil remedy provision regardless of whether an order has been made against the person under Division 2. 555 Evidence given in proceedings for pecuniary penalty not admissible in criminal proceedings (1) Evidence of information given, or evidence of production of documents, by an individual is not admissible in criminal proceedings against the individual if: (a) the individual previously gave the information or produced the documents in proceedings for a pecuniary penalty order against the individual for a contravention of a civil remedy provision (whether or not the order was made); and (b) the conduct alleged to constitute the offence is substantially the same as the conduct in relation to which the order was sought. (2) However, this does not apply to criminal proceedings in relation to the falsity of the evidence given by the individual in the proceedings for the pecuniary penalty order. =================== This worries me because it is either the evidence given in civil proceedings cannot just be copy pasted for the criminal proceedings, but must be the direct evidence for the criminal court to digest. or the evidence used in civil court cannot be used in criminal court because it becomes inadmisable. Can the evidence even be shared or is the evidence in lock down? We will have to see the interpretation after the fact, or stop the civil case until the criminal case hase ceased. |

well what part of what he is accused of is a crime.. and what part is just a civil case.. I am under the impression he is being charged with using money for his own benefit that wasnt his and wasnt authorised now it looks like they are picking and choosing.. how can using a credit card to visit a brothel be a crime... when using money I presume by way of the same credit card to fund his campaign is a civil case.. I am surprised Jacksons name hasnt come up yet! |

What part of sarcasm to the answer given and the statement being sarcastically made about it, dont you get. No wonder you dont seem to have a clue most of the time. That "Aussies were never racist against Italian and Greek" sarcastically because it isnt true. In other words, these idiots saying aussies were not racist, are wrong, full of BS. |

reading the OP dna... THOMO has already been charged by the police with 154 counts...the op is about what FWA will charge him with in a civil court.... his lawyers want them to postpone their case until after the police charges as it looks like the civil charges may end up being the same as the criminal charges... he will be a busy boy by the look of things. |
