Yea man Jack Russell has issued fresh Supreme Court action against Murrindindi Shire Council and its Chief Executive Officer Craig Lloyd.

Mr Russell has issued proceedings on the Personal Injuries List of the Court.

Mr Russell, of Francis St, Yea, seeks to obtain an order of the Court that he should not be restricted from attending at the Yea Library between 9am-5pm Fridays, and 10am-12 Noon Saturdays, times at which a particular Council employee does not work.

Mr Russell says that Mr Llloyd extended a ban, “without the necesary solution process and therefore the decision is wrong in law and outside Mr Lloyd’s scope of authority, and was the original bans – invalid”.

Mr Russell alleges that “Council are implicated and with four known witnesses in an act of perjury and of false witness with sworn statements as known to this Court and as current action brought … as parallel to this action”.

Mr Russell accuses that the Council ‘failed in their obligation to take account of worsening mental health and well being and that the decision of April-May 2016 and now as extended on November 9, 2019 (sic), and with no end date is far in excess of what benefit could possibly be acheived and was unreasonable, irrational, illogical, ill-founded, wrong in law and therefor unworthy and an abuse of process and as meant (sic) to deceive.”

Mr Russell says extensive files have been kept about him by the Council.

“Council created the record of ‘Interaction with Jack Russell’ and since 2013 and together with the later record of ‘Contacts made with Mr Jack Russell’ and which is the subject of FOI legislation and investigation by OVIC as a complaint, for failure to release that reciord of my persobnal contact with Council and now brought to the Court for Discovery and Subpoena and production for examination for a contest”.
