"Ridiculous" Claim Gets Up

Khani built the boundary fence between he and Tony Jacobs’ property. This was the entire lower side and half the rear of his property. But he built it 25cm above ground level at the street and 90cm above at the rear. The result was that a stream of the blue metal and gravel used to build it up his land poured into Tony’s place.

Khani ignored written requests to rectify and later to pay for the terracing built. Tony then sued him.A week later Khani commenced his Anti-Discrimination claims and began screaming at Tony repeatedly things like:-

“You are a Public Servant and should get down on your knees and serve me”

“I’ll get revenge if it takes me 20 years”

“Who do you think you are?”

I’ll make you cwy” [he can’t pronounce “r”]

‘You are a septic tank”

“You are a poofter”

“You don’t believe in God and you’ll go to Hell”

Also came the 13 attacks upon him in a motor vehicle, the kicking and punching of 6 holes in his side fence, the spitting at him and the partial pulling down of his pants accompanied by pointing at his posterior of which Tony has given evidence several times.

To the Tribunal Khani wrote of Tony’s action “How ridiculous is his claim? His claim is just unbelievable.”

Khani later screamed down the Court appointed mediator and proceeded to trial represented by Mr Chris Boland.

Tony was awarded all except a minor item that he was claiming - about $1,350. Mr Boland’s fees are thought to have been over $5,000, so all and all it was not a good assessment that the claim was “ridiculous”.
