Dear Ms Mums Lawyer

FAMILY LAW PROCEEDINGS – THURSDAY ADAMS (AN INFANT), ADAM ADAMS AND HAI KON YU
1. I refer to my facsimile of 21 July 2010.

Letter to the Court

2. I enclose for your attention a copy of my letter being delivered this morning to the Court (5 pages plus 2
attachments totalling 8 pages all up).
3. I refer in particular to paragraph 3 thereof. I would be grateful if your organisation would endeavour to
communicate with me/Mr Adams by email at my above given email address. I would be grateful to receive
any and all documents from your organisation via email, with delivery of hard copies of documents to me by
being marked to my attention and delivered to me at Mr Adams's address previously on the record (namely
123 Sesame Street Capital City 911) and not my S### address. I have made the same request of the Court
and the ICL.

Request for Conference

4. I shall endeavour to be at or in close proximity to the Court by 8.30 am this morning.
5. I ask that you please telephone me on my above number once you have had an opportunity to peruse these
materials. I am especially keen to discuss:
 the 'equal parenting' proposals that Mr Adams wishes to pursue, and
 the extent to which the parties might agree (presumably to the considerable delight of Her Honour)
that there are certain 'no go zones' on issues such as freedoms of speech and (if I may be so blunt
given the timing) the airing of wild, unsubstantiated and inappropriate (on materiality, relevance and
probity grounds) allegations the airing of which could be seen to raise real concerns of 'perjury',
'contempt', and even criminal misconduct (including, malicious defamation allegations) by those
airing them.

6. As to the latter comments, I am disturbed that even on even my preliminary perusal of Ms Yu's earliest and
most recent Affidavits there are many statements that are contradicted by the independent evidence that I
shall be presenting as part of Mr Adams's case. Worse still (from Ms Yu's perspective) her sworn
statements in her earliest and most recent affidavits are even contradicted by other statements and
admissions she has made during the course of the proceedings (including written admissions).
7. I am also disturbed (on materiality, probity and relevance grounds) that Ms Yu's case seems to be
obseessed with things that happened in 2000 (being the graphic photographs found in the family home, and
Mr Adams's decision (which is in the process of being reviewed and in due course rectified, in the correct
Government forums) to cop a plea bargain though innocent of the charges. Mr Adams has always
maintained his innocence – that the images were put there by a male border while Mr Adams and Ms Yu
were absent for a period. And indeed, Mr Adams has always maintained that Ms Yu was responsible for
organising that border. The fact that 'no conviction [was] recorded' supports Mr Adams's claims of total
innnocence notwithstanding the plea bargain. Even more so, Ms Yu's decision to continue in the
relationship some 5 more plus years is behaviour that overwhelmingly points to her satisfaction as to his
innocence. Their joint conception of the child Thursday is even more overwhelmingly indicative that she
believed him to be innocent. This post-separation obsession in her 'Case' with that distant event smacks
somewhat of opportunism and a certain lack of credibility (amplifed above the inconsistencies in her affidavit
materials as mentioned above).
8. The same comments can be said as to the relevance, probative value and materiality of any testimony that
Ms Sister Sister might give. Given that Ms Sister Sister has been estranged from the Adams family for some
8 plus years it is difficult to see what relevance Ms Sister Sister's testimony could have to the issues that are
relevant to questions of providing the best parenting arrangments for the child Thursday for 2010 to 2020
and onwards.
9. Obviously Mr Adams, and indeed all relevant persons (including Thursday and her mother and all of the
extended Adams family) will benefit from Mr Adams and Ms Yu reaching consent orders.
10. I believe that I need not say any more about the extra-curial investigations of Ms Yu's conduct during both
during and subsequent to her relationship with Mr Adams. Indeed, to the extent I have been briefed on
those investigations, I am conscious that there are constraints on my ability to air them in the forum of these
proceedings.
11. Without wishing to be oversuggestive I attach for your information a copy of the news story that was front
page news in the Melbourne Sunday Herald Sun only 4 days ago 'Dad launches 'criminal' charges
against ex-wife. I merely wish to inform you, as a professional courtesy, that certain activities are under
investigation. I am of the opinion that any prosecution(s) that might issue are probably to issue
conventionally without necessity for any private prosecution(s).
12. Having regard to the previous history of this matter, I believe that if this Hearing proceedings along the lines
of previous hearings (refer my facsimile letters of 21 July 2010) I believe that this will be detrimental to the

 parties (especially Ms Yu) and deterimental to the image of the Court. Clearly I am keen to put the
proceedings on a proper professional footing. I merely note that the Case Outline prepared by your
organisation and even more so the Case Outline prepared by the ICL do not engender confidence as to how
the matter might be conducted before Her Honour, without substantial agreement on major issues by all 3
sets of lawyers beforehand.

Additional Attachments
13. I also attach as a courtesy some additional attachments which will be included amongst the exhibits to
affidavits that Mr Adams will be swearing and filing at Court this morning.

Conclusion
14. I am very troubled by the way that this matter has proceeded to date and remain hopeful that we might by
way of lawyers conference be able to put the proceedings on a proper footing, even at this late stage, so
that the matter may proceed in a dignified way to the extent that determinations are required by Her Honour
due to the inability of the parents to reach agreement on key issues beforehand.

Best wishes

JAMES JOHNSON
