Get a law degree on the feminist ticket: practice the dark arts; get paid leave for a natural function; and try to take the firm for an expensive ride.

A former partner of a major Melbourne law firm has lost a $300,000 damages claim for bullying against her one-time employer.

Solicitor Fiona Brown took maternity leave from Maurice Blackburn Cashman at the end of 2002 and claimed that a "torrent" of bullying from a co-worker started in 2003. She made an additional claim for pecuniary damages of $2.5 million.

Ms Brown, who was head of the Family Law Department, also claimed that her boss, Michael Brett-Young, did nothing to stop it and that she had suffered psychiatric injuries from workplace stress as a result.

Her lawyer had submitted that her pain and suffering damages would be about $300,000 and the total pecuniary loss of $2,502,499.50.

But Judge John Carmody said in the County Court this morning that he had considered all of the evidence and had decided to dismiss Ms Brown's claim.

In his judgment, he rejected Ms Brown's "proposition and evidence" that Lee Formica — her replacement — and Mr Brett-Young conspired to get her to leave the firm.

Judge Carmody said that he did not "accept (Ms Brown's) allegations that Ms Formica humiliated, harassed, intimidated, undermined or bullied her".

He also found that Mr Brett-Young acted as a "reasonably prudent employer would act in the circumstance".
"I do not accept in those circumstances that the defendant breached its duty of care to the plaintiff in the course of her employment," he added.

Judge Carmody also ordered her to pay the costs of the action, which are likely to run into six figures.

Being members of the same mendacious fraternity, the Judge stopped short of calling her a damned liar and extortionist.

It's not just that such legal scholars seek to manipulate the system to their own benefit, but how they routinely seek to excessively profit, like vampires, from decent human beings with little or no moral consideration.

Legal liars shouldn't just be booted, the whole community should be involved in this kicking, and that everyday folk be recompensed with what has been taken from them.

Put her in some stocks. Let the community throw rotten things at her over a period of time.

I've said before how a true democratic system must make it's schoolchildren aware how (truly) the political, philosophical, economic, history and legal systems work. If not, you will be become the victim of that very displaced learning over and again.
