When the new Solicitor-General David Collins QC received $400,000 a year in legal aid payments from the government and his predecessor Terrence Arnold QC was appointed directly to the Court of Appeal after criminally concealing evidence in a Coroner's inquest, the camp culture in the Office of the Solicitor General of New Zealand was shown to hit demonstrable new lows. One law partner wishing to remain anonymous for obvious reasons called the office "a cesspool of corruption". READ STORY
The Rt Hon Paul East, QC, Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) |
The Attorney-General of New Zealand has ministerial jurisdiction over the Crown Law Office and is the principal law officer of the Crown, responsible for supervising the state's administration of the law and for providing legal advice to the government. The Attorney-General is assisted by the Solicitor General, who is his junior law officer.
Hon Paul East QC was the Attorney General at the time Mr Titford had his farm acquired by the Crown using “corrupt” documents for Te Roroa’s “alleged” claim at Maunganui Bluff. When sent a copy of, “Stolen Land at Maunganui Bluff” (See www.onenzfoundation.co.nz). Mr East replied, “I have no recollection of how this land was acquired and I believe it would have been handled by the Ministry of Justice”.
No Mr East, the Crown Law Office handled it and it was your responsibility as Attorney General at the time, to know how this land was acquired! |
Honourable Justice John McGrath, Supreme Court of New Zealand. |
The Solicitor-General of New Zealand is responsible for the Crown Law Office and is the Government's chief legal adviser.
Honourable Justice John McGrath (Supreme Court) was the Solicitor-General at the time Mr Titford had his farm acquired by the Crown using ”corrupt” documents for Te Roroa’s “alleged” claim at Maunganui Bluff. The Crown Law Office was responsible for the drafting and execution of the Sale Agreement on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. When sent a copy of, “Stolen Land at Maunganui Bluff” (See www.onenzfoundation.co.nz), to Justice John McGrath and he replied, “I have no personal recollection of the circumstances surrounding the sale of Mr Titford’s property that would enable me to respond to the allegations you make or questions you ask in your letter of 16 February 2009”. Amazing, both the Attorney General and the Solicitor General at the time, have no recollection that the Crown Law Office used “corrupt” documents to acquire Mr Titford’s property. Well Mr East and McGrath, don’t you think it’s time you did the job you were paid to do by the taxpayers in 1995 and find out who “tampered with” the documents – after all, it was your responsibility? |
Rt Hon Christopher Finlayson, Attorney General, Principal Law Officer of the Crown |
The Current Attorney General.
The Hon Christopher Finlayson is the current Attorney General. While we have also sent Mr Finlayson a copy of “Stolen Land at Maunganui Bluff” and written to him on numerous occasions, he has refused to investigate the “corrupt” documents used by the Crown Law Office to acquire Mr Titford’s property for very obvious reasons.
He was a member of Maori Affairs Select Committee that lied to Parliament and withheld all opposing submissions to allow the “alleged” Te Roroa Claims Settlement Bill to proceed. To do nothing Mr Finlayson makes you just as “corrupt” as those who “tampered with” the documents in 1995. Still you did mislead the highest Court of the land – Parliament. |
Dr David Collins QC, Solicitor-General and chief executive of the Crown Law Office. |
The Current Solicitor General.
Dr David Collins, QC is the current Solicitor General. We have written to Dr Collins with a copy of “Stolen Land at Maunganui Bluff” and while he agrees, “There was a clerical error or errors in the handling of the documents at the time”, he refuses to hold an inquiry into the “corrupt” documents used to acquire Mr Titford’s farm for Te Roroa’s “alleged” claim.
From the paper trail left by those involved at the time and the Ombudsman’s investigation, there is no denying, this is a “corrupt” transaction making it “null and void”. To do nothing Dr Collins makes you just as “corrupt” as those who “tampered with” the documents in 1995! |
There is no denying, these four men know “corrupt” documents were used to purchase Mr Allan Titford’s farm at Maunganui Bluff. They have been sent copies of “Stolen Land at Maunganui Bluff” showing the paper trail left by those involved at the time and the Ombudsman’s investigation, the Sale Agreement and Memorandum of Transfer were “tampered with” by the Crown Law Office to acquire Mr Titford’s farm for the “alleged” Te Roroa claim at Maunganui Bluff.
These “four wise men” must now honour the Laws of New Zealand, put a stop to the corruption within our legal system and hold a full investigation into the acquisition of Mr Titford’s farm for the “alleged” Te Rorao claim. We must return to a “Justice System” where all are treated the same with a fair hearing and without political interferance, irrespective of race, colour or creed. Without this, there can be no trust in the Law of New Zealand or the Principal Law Officers of the Crown, past or present, responsible for supervising the state's administration of the law and for providing legal advice to the Government! It is a “cesspool of corruption”!
