John Melis, Expert

Hello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.
You will be able to challenge these false allegations in the court. Let the matter go to court, and then you'll have a contested hearing where you can dispute the allegations which have been raised based on your evidence.
Does this help with your question today?

Customer
Ok that’s fine and all the allegations I can prove are lies but can the applicant be sued for her allegations?

If you have a lawyer working for you, you can have a cost order put against the applicant for the false allegations if they lose their case.
Customer
Ok that’s an idea thank you are you based in Western Australia at all
