Date of Judgment: 06 August 2025

The plaintiff, who was previously employed by Oracle Corporation Australia Pty Ltd, has filed multiple vexatious claims in the Federal Court of Australia, including an application for an extension of time to commence an application for unlawful discrimination. The defendant, Oracle Corporation Australia Pty Ltd, has applied for an order under section 77RN of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) that the plaintiff's proceeding is vexatious. The court must determine whether the plaintiff's proceeding is vexatious and, if so, whether an order should be made under section 77RN of the Judiciary Act.

The court considered the history of the plaintiff's vexatious claims, including the fact that he had signed a release agreement that precluded him from making the claims he now asserts. The court also noted that the plaintiff had made numerous interlocutory applications and had failed to comply with court orders. The court found that the plaintiff's proceeding was vexatious and made an order under section 77RN of the Judiciary Act that the proceeding was vexatious. The court also ordered that the plaintiff pay the defendant's costs of the proceeding on an indemnity basis.

The Federal Court of Australia ordered that the plaintiff's proceeding be stayed and that the plaintiff pay the defendant's costs of the proceeding on an indemnity basis. The court also warned the plaintiff that any further vexatious applications may result in a vexatious proceedings order being made against him.
