Clive Palmer loves to sue. He boasts that he wins most of his court cases. The reality is anything but. This investigation by a commenter on Bolta blog; The Villiage Idiot (reformed) ....Clive Palmer constantly states that he wins 90% of his court cases. With nothing better to do, I thought I’d check out his claim, given that #theirABC and FauxFacts Meeja fact checkers certainly won’t. Here’s a list of the judgements of various courts in the last year and a half, with the results: Federal Court of Australia: [2014] FCA 879 – August 20, 2014 – LOST Supreme Court of Western Australia: [2014] WASC 358 – September 26, 2014 – LOST Unreported – September 26, 2014 – LOST [2014] WASC 282 – August 5, 2014 - LOST [2013] WASC 434 (S) – February 12, 2014 - LOST [2013] WASC 434 – December 4, 2013 - LOST [2013] WASC 375 – October 14, 2013 - LOST [2013] WASC 285 – August 2, 2013 - LOST [2013] WASC 194 (S) – June 25, 2013 – DRAW [2013] WASC 194 – May 21, 2013 – MOSTLY WIN Supreme Court of Queensland: [2014] QSC 226 – September 17, 2014 – LOST [2014] QSC 174 – August 5, 2014 – MOSTLY LOST [2014] QSC 036 – March 13, 2014 - LOST [2014] QSC 024 – February 20, 2014 - LOST [2013] QSC 352 – December 20, 2013 - LOST [2013] QSC 209 – August 19, 2013 - LOST [2013] QCA 160 – June 21, 2013 - LOST Supreme Court of New South Wales: [2013] NSWSC 546 - 14 May 2013 – LOST [2013] NSWSC 466 - 30 April 2013 - LOST So to summarise – constant litigant Secretary-General Palmer – has at most, a success rate of approximately 1.3 decided cases out of 19 which have been decided in the last 18 months – or a win rate of 6.8%.
