The Possible Prosecution of WikiLeaks

The U.S. Justice Department is apparently considering prosecuting Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, which is a Web site that publishes classified documents from governments, under the rarely used Espionage Act of 1917. Such a prosecution would have adverse effects on the American people’s right to know what their government is doing in a republic that is supposed to be run by them. more

Gunman Was Decorated Cop

The gunman killed in one of the Philippines' deadliest hostage incidents was a decorated ex-policeman depressed over his sacking for various alleged crimes, his family said.

Ex-chief inspector Rolando Mendoza was once named one of the country's top 10 police officers and had served as head of Manila's Mobile Patrol Unit, the force's frontline group dealing with the city's street crimes.

He graduated from the Philippine College of Criminology in the early 1980s, before joining the force as a young lieutenant and later rising through the ranks, his service record showed.

Changes To The Bankruptcy Act

The Federal Government has amended the Bankruptcy Act.

The minimum amount of judgement debt required to initiate bankruptcy action has been increased from $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 in Australia.

This could mean that you are going to find it harder to collect larger debts.

Debts have a legal life of 6 years but why let an outstanding amount get to a situation, where you or your business need to take legal action to recover the outstanding debt owing.

If your business has an outstanding account beyond a 30 day period, at least contact the client person who was in charge of purchasing services or goods from your business and ask when the outstanding account will be settled and how.

If you continue to get promises about the outstanding account being paid and find that it is not being paid, don't hesitate to contact Lynch Investigations & Countermeasures Pty Ltd. We have a background in collecting overdue accounts, process serving statement of claim & bankruptcy notices.

There are some formal steps to undertake with the court in some instances and Lynch Investigations & Countermeasures Pty Ltd's Commercial Agents can assist you or your business in progressing with a collection process, to get you or your business back on track to creating positive cash flow.
