2023
District Court at Auckland - Civil - Successful defending our client as Defendant and Respondent against a summary judgment application by Plaintiff. Opposing counsel claimed thtat our client had no defence to a 6-figure amount loan that our client concedes is owed to the Plaintiff yet he was not obliged to repay the Plaintiff until a cerrain future event occurred. The Plaintiff applicant also attempted to seek a declaration that the Plaintiff held an equitable charge over the Defendant's property as part of the summary judgment. Our client was able to advance a defence against the summary judgment with such force that, simultaneously with our success in defeating the summary judgment application, our client Defendant was further successful in seeking security for costs against the Plaintiff in favour of our client Defendant. The presiding judge suggested to counsel for the Plaintiff that his argument was so weak even with the Defendant conceding to the existence of the liability of debt that the Plaintiff ought to amend his causes of action to properly advance his case. Yet the same presiding judge acknowledged Paul's submissions for the Defendant that any amended pleadings would be statute-barred in the circumstances of the case. This matter was subsequently settled out of court.
奧克蘭地區法院 - 民事訴訟 - 誠信律師事務所成功為我方客戶作為被告和答辯人駁回原告的快速判決申請。 對方律師聲稱，我們的客戶對一筆 6 位數的貸款沒有任何抗辯理由，特別是我方被告已明確承認欠原告錢。雖然如此，我方的抗辯理由為：該筆貸款在未來發生某特定事件之前，我方被告並沒有義務償還原告。 原告申請人還試圖尋求法官聲明，表明原告對被告的財產擁有衡平法下的抵押權，作為簡易判決索賠的一部分。 我們的客戶針對原告對方簡易判決提出抗辯，其抗辯理由力度之大，導致我們的客戶不僅成功駁回原告快速判決的申請，更反其道而行：成功要求原告向地方法院信託賬戶繳付我方律師費的保證金，在我方勝訴時把該款用來償還我方律師訴訟費。 法官更向原告律師建議，即使被告承認債務責任的存在，原告的論據仍然毫不充分，因此原告應考慮修改其起訴理由，以適當推進其案件。 然而，同一主審法官亦認可敝律所彭律師為被告作出的陳詞，認爲在本案的情況下，原告任何修改後的訴狀都將受到“起訴時效限制法”阻止，原告已經來不及改訴狀也根本沒機會改了。 對方因爲反對繳付我方律師費保證金導致需要開庭審訊而失敗告終，在本案還沒正式開審時，對方除了要付法院我方律師費的保證金，還要額外另賠償我方的訴訟費，真正達到對方原告還沒開始索賠，我方被告已先獲得賠償的訴訟仙境。此案最終庭外和解。
High Court at Auckland - Defamation - Three (3) successful claims of defamation against Defendant. Defendant made defamatory statements against client Plaintiff via Facebook Messenger, text messaging, and telephone call. No defence including any possibility of truth or honest opinion.

District Court at North Shore- Criminal/ Traffic - Client charged with driving whilst his licence was suspended. Client was pulled over by police driving a friend's vehicle. Driver license provided to the police officer was suspended.

Prosecutions withdrew the charge and the proceedings dismissed. 北岸地區法院 - 刑事/ 交通 - 我方被檢控停牌期間開車。客戶在開著朋友的車，警察在路上攔截了客戶，并要求客戶提供駕照。客戶的駕照無效因爲他被停牌了。誠信律師事務所成功為客戶反駁，反駁理由為遞交停牌通知的時候客戶有不在場證據，因此客戶沒有親自獲悉自己被停牌。檢控被迫撤訴，客戶無罪釋放。
District Court at Auckland (Criminal) - Fitness to Stand Trial - Immediate Release - Proceedings Stayed - Defendant was charged with criminal offence (Max 2 years imprisonment) in which Integritas Law Firm, acting for the Defendant, successfully applied and granted by the Court that the Defendant was not fit for trial.

Defendant immediately released and the proceedings permanently stayed.
