Why PG Underwood Can Never Be Governor of Tasmania

Writes Thomas E Trustrum Tasmania's Legal Watchdog

As the title of Ellen Whinnett's column 'The Insider' may give readers the impression she is privy to some inside information regarding Tasmania's next Governor, I take this opportunity to advise your readers that one of Ms Whinnett's 'hot favourites'; ex-solicitor and former Law Society member Mr P G Underwoood (now Supreme Court judge) has no hope of ever becoming Governor - for the following reason:In July 2000, an aged pensioner (then 6 moved to Tasmania, to buy a home and spend the rest of his days here. He later gave $24,000 deposit to a crooked Devonport solicitor who attempted to keep the money (his partner was jailed for six years last year for similar offences). The pensioner complained to the Law Society of Tasmania, which claimed it would 'investigate' the matter. The Society's then executive-director, Mrs Jan Marcia Martin, later informed him that his complaint had been 'dismissed'.

Tasmania's Legal Ombudsman, Mr Judith Paxton, later exposed Mrs Martin's story as a lie - and the pensioner described Martin in a newsletter, as the 'solicitor from Hell'. The Law Society of Tasmania funded Mrs Martin to sue the pensioner for defamation; and ex-solicitor and member of the Law Society, Chief Justcie William Cox, ordered that the media and the public be BANNED from the hearings. In due course, ex-solicitor and Law Society member, Peter George Underwood (as the now Senior Puisne Judge of Tasmania's Supreme Court) was selected to 'assess the damages' in the secret defamation case in which there had been no jury - and no TRIAL!

He awarded Mrs J M Martin, the executive-director of the Law Society $40,000 damages.

As the pensioner did not have $40,000, the Law Society of Tasmania decided they would sell his house and car. They sent the corrupt Deputy-Registrar of Tasmania's Supreme Court, R J Walker, to 'auction' them. Walker pointed out to the Law Society that if he 'auctioned' the home for a low enough figure, the Society would then make the pensioner bankrupt too. Walker then 'auctioned' the $90,000 home to a mate of a mate - for $20,000. He threw in the pensioner's $6,000 car - for $300.

(While all this was going on, Mrs Jan Martin FLED Tasmania, as she could now see she had been 'set-up' by the Law Society, simply to help the Society destroy the pensioner.) The age-pensioner from the mainland, now 72, is today living 'homeless and penniless' in a backpackers hostel in Tasmania. That is why ex-solicitor and Law Society member, Peter George Underwood - now a $270,000-year Supreme Court judge - can never be Governor of Tasmania.

If he were ever selected for the job as governor, this story would be the first scandal to hit the fan - before the ink was dry.

The second and even bigger scandal would be next year, when the pensioner launches his Full Court appeal against 'Governor' Underwood's award of $40,000 damages to the Law Society of Tasmania's former executive-director, in a SECRET TRAIL (while the governor was still a judge of course).

The 'mastermind' of the entire fraud for the Law Society of Tasmania was Hobart's lawyer David John Gunson, an army reserve colonel. Chief-Justice William Cox (ex-Law Society) awarded Gunson an 'SC' for his outstanding job as Mrs Martin's counsel, in the SECRET defamation case. And the Law Society of Tasmania made him their president. Sensation! Copy of Cox's arrangement with Gunson to hold the J M Martin defamation case IN SECRET is available on request from legalwatchdog@justice.com

The law should be protected in order to ensure that nobody misuses them. There are instances where lawyers, judges commit frauds and this is too sad.
