“Vexatious Litigant” a slur

(content pending)

Preliminary notes: 

  • Campaign by corporate media groups – Melbourne Radio 3AW shockjock Neil Mitchell’ protracted personal hate campaign (1987-2023) – retired at age 72
  • Twice in a political campaign by Attorney General of Victoria, Rob Hulls MP – in 2004 and again 2009.
  • Few discrete cases, many appeals, many cases not brought by Knight
  • Knight did not persistently take legal action without reasonable grounds or for improper purposes. He was compelled to take legal action for repeated injustices against him by prison authorities, governmental  interference in  due process (his Parole application), and by political bureaucracies – most notably DART and then DFO
  • He was first declared a vexatious litigant in 2004 and must apply to begin legal proceedings.  He is now subject to an indefinite general litigation restraint order after launching more than 30 unsuccessful applications for leave to commence proceedings since 2004.
  • He sued Attorney-General Rob Hulls in 2009 in an attempt to overturn his status as a vexatious litigant.
