The best advice Glen Buckley has received so far - from poster “Thirsty” on UP:

“Get some legal help, fast”.

To do anything else is a waste of time, period.

Under no circumstances should Glen meet with anyone from CASA without his own fully briefed legal team at his back. If he ignores this advice its game over because I suspect CASA has already taken the initial steps to apply for some form of a cease and desist order against  him and all that is required of CASA to make their case is a final conciliation attempt by Pip. A meeting will be a corporate ambush.

Prevarications and well meaning suggestions from others are either misguided or just plain irrelevant.

For example, the argument over the exact corporate status of CASA and the powers and resources it has is totally pointless. Pip Spence can’t spend a cracker without written advice and nobody will write that a∂vice without a legal opinion to back it up and no Board or Auditor will approve it without the same.

……and despite the corporate veil, the Department will have to brief the Minister (“That you note, etc”) and she may be required to advise Finance or Cabinet depending on PM & C’s rules.

This sucker will be settled on the steps of the court and not before. Forget magical thinking and “The Castle”.

What Wombat said – in Spades -

Glen, mate, the BRB is almost at the point of gagging and tying you up, stuffing you in cupboard and not letting you out until your fully briefed Barrister (or whatever) has 'done the meeting' with CASA. Beg, borrow, steal or – use the freely available largess of the 'Go-Fundme' system. Most of those offering to support  'Know' that proper 'legal' representation is your only hope and all about about taking a knife to a gun-fight. You have miles of paperwork for anyone to plough through, to sort and to break out the 'valid' legal arguments; those will need (must) to be 'shaped' and polished by a Barrister; one who can, and importantly will take on the CASA behemoth 'toe to toe'.  Don't forget you have publicly 'flagged' most of your case to the opposition and they have had a long, long time to prepare their tactics - and believe me; they are very good at doings so..

CASA ain't scared of you, or me, or Pprune or even Beelzebub himself (sixth floor; suite 666); the 'system' is hard enough to beat for tough, seasoned, match fit expert professionals; time to get serious about winning. Stop writing and whining; make the calls – get 'go-fund-me' working for you and get some real help. Its that or a hiding to nothing. It is............Don't be a mug mate. .
