Justice David Markey Yates (Yates J) docket Judge of the NSD940/2014 James William Christian v Société des Produits Nestlé SA & Ors – Federal Court of Australia proceedings (Federal Court proceedings) lied to conceal his association with Nestlé and Post Holdings (Post) lawyers at a hearing on 28 October 2014.

JUSTICE YATES COMMITTED PERJURY
Yates J committed perjury while trying to cover up issues raised by Christian about injustice and bias, in Yates J having provided a 42-day stoppage to facilitate the Nestlé and Post cover up and in Yates J having co-authored a book with Nestlé IP lawyers Banki Haddock Fiora partner Kate Haddock, with Yates J and Christian statements from the hearing transcript at page-8:
YATES J: “I can stop you there, Mr Christian. I haven’t written a book with Ms Haddock. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
MR CHRISTIAN: “Okay.”
YATES J: “So you are mistaken.”
MR CHRISTIAN: “Well, I don’t know how to – I don’t know what else to say apart from, I’ve got a title here that has your name on it, David Markey Yates and Kate Haddock.”
YATES J: “I have absolutely no idea what that’s about. Would you like to tell me what the title is?”
MR CHRISTIAN: “Yes. The title is Trademarks & Passing Off. It was written – the publication was written in 1993.”
YATES J: “Who published it?”
MR CHRISTIAN: “It doesn’t say who the publisher is, but the book is at the State Library of Victoria and that your name, your Honour, and Kate Haddock are authors on the book.”
YATES J: “Well, it’s not me. I have written no book and I have written no book with Ms Haddock. There’s another D.M. Yates who practices in the area of intellectual property. I don’t know whether he is the person who is the author of that book with Ms Haddock. It’s not me.”
But on 3 November 2014 in response to an email from Christian, David Yates, a partner at Corrs Chambers Westgarth lawyers, the other Yates referred to by Yates J, stated by email:
“No I am not the author of the book. And that will be the Judge.”
And on 5 November 2014 an email was sent to the chambers of Yates J, from Nestlé and Post trademark lawyers Banki Haddock Fiora stating:
“Mr Christian’s reference appears to be correct. Although Ms Haddock has no recollection of the event.”
JUSTICE YATES CONSPIRED
Federal Court appeal judgments are delivered within 3-months and in the Federal Court of Australia Annual Report for 2015/16 it states:
The Court has a goal of delivering reserved judgments within a period of three months.
During the Yates J 8-month and 2-day stoppage Post dumped the Musashi brand in an on-sell at a $40 million loss and the new owners Vitaco Holdings Limited completed a $332 million initial public offering on the Australian Securities Exchange promoting the Musashi brand while concealing the Federal Court Proceedings that exposed Post violations of U.S. antitrust laws.
