Perth real estate agent, known as Mr Charisteas, has been embroiled in family law proceedings against his former wife for almost 15 years and has spent about $4 million on legal fees.
He filed submissions in the high court last year to appeal a decision by the full family court which did not grant him a retrial after discovering details about the relationship between Western Australian judge John Walters and barrister Gillian Anderson, his wife’s lawyer.
On 22 March 2016, Judge Walters heard the case and delivered his decision on 12 February, 2018. During this time, the judge and Ms Anderson met for drink or coffee about four times, had phone conversations at least give times and exchanged numerous text messages.

Can I suggest to our Prime Minister that for all his outrage over Christine Holgateâs spend, $20,000 is just a drop in the ocean when compared to his governments misuse of taxpayersâ money (âGovernment hits back at Holgateâs claims over exitâ, April 15)? Where does one start: the Christmas Island reopening photo opportunity; the $50 million spent on keeping the Murugappan family incarcerated on said island; the sports rorts scandal; the robodebts repayments; the community grants program; the repeated inquiries, investigations and finally a royal commission into age care; and the multiple positions on climate change?
Australian Law Reform Commission general counsel Matt Corrigan has tended to pursue roles he finds interesting, and now – as a leader – sees it as a duty to encourage the next generation to find their own paths forward.
