BRIAN WILLIAM SHAW

v

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF VICTORIA

[2013] HCASL 120
M31/2013

1. The applicant was declared to be a vexatious litigant by the Supreme Court of Victoria in May 2007[1].  He is prohibited from commencing proceedings in any State court or tribunal without the leave of the Supreme Court of Victoria.  The applicant sought leave to file and serve "criminal charges" against the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria.  Beach J in the Common Law Division of that Court refused leave, holding that the proceedings, if commenced, would be an abuse of the process of the Court[2].  That conclusion was undoubtedly correct.  The applicant has filed an application for special leave to appeal from Beach J's order.  His application and written case are largely unintelligible and must be dismissed.
