Dear Mums Lawyer

FAMILY LAW PROCEEDINGS – THURSDAY ADAMS (AN INFANT), ADAM ADAMS AND HAI KON YU
1. I refer to Mr Adams's facsimile to you Tuesday evening.
2. I advise that I am in the process of accepting instructions from Mr Adams to represent him for the Final
Hearing on Wednesday 27 July 2010. I will make and file the relevant notices with the Court once my
engagement is formalised. Until then, I ask that you communicate with Mr Adams as you have done up until
now. My involvement is in no way an opportunity to suggest that Mr Adams wants or might benefit from a
rescheduling of the Final Hearing next week. Quite the opposite as Mr Adams's letters and my letter to the
Court explain.
3. I attach a copy of my facsimile today to the Court.
4. Please inform who your witnesses will be as a matter of urgency. And please explain why you have not
already provided this information to Mr Adams especially given his status up until this(?) point of being a
self-represented litigant (and lay person)? I advise that all witnesses on whom you wish to rely must be
present in person so that I may cross-examine them.
5. I will inform you as to who Mr Adams's witnesses will be once I have formalised my engagement and
identified them. I advise that Mr Adams has a long list of potential witnesses but, in the interests of
economising on scarce Court time, I will be looking to vigorously prune that list. At this stage, Mr Adams,
Mrs Adams (the paternal grandmother) and possibly Mr Adams (the paternal uncle) will be called as
witnesses. I expect I will be able to provide you with a more complete list of Mr Adams's witnesses on
Monday.
6. I refer again to my enclosed letter to the Court regarding:
a. the impropriety of any mention hearing in this matter happening tomorrow.
b. the impropriety of any postponement of the Final Hearing scheduled for 27 July 2010.
7. Please provide (to Mr Adams) your full and complete response to this letter no later than midday tomorrow.
Best wishes
JAMES JOHNSON
