Jimmy withdraws from High Court action.
James started a High Court action in 2011 (more than 18 months ago) claiming he knew nothing about some events between late 2004 and mid 2007, which he "only became aware" of in 2007. He made many false allegations against Julian and got their mother (80+yrs) involved.
Why did James wait until 2011 to formally act upon something that he appeared to consider to be serious enough to take to the High Court?
It appeared that he was trying to spin a story to extract $10,000s from Julian, hoping Julian couldn't defend the false allegations and lies.
Julian filed documents that showed both James and Gayle knew and were involved in the events.
After not filing the required documents providing evidence for the scheduled trial, James withdrew a week before the trial date.
James will claim that their mother's testimony was key and she was too ill to testify. Not true.
She was not too ill, rather she did not want to testify, as she knew, as the evidence Julian submitted showed, that her testimony was not key.
Because James had submitted an affidavit from her that was the first of three from her, she may have been be required to testify.
The High Court awarded costs to Julian.
