A Wrecking Ball of Fraud and Retaliation: How NSW Legal Regulators Erased Two Innocent Lawyers and Their Law Firm, Without Proof, Due Process, Or Lawful Determination.

A Wrecking Ball of Fraud and Retaliation: How NSW Legal Regulators Erased Two Innocent Lawyers and Their Law Firm, Without Proof, Due Process or Lawful Determination, While Fabricating False Records Disguised As Lawful.

Why are these officers still in office, despite engaging in corrupt and unlawful conduct, and despite their positive duty to self-report?

The Erosion of the Rule of Law. A danger to the Public, A Warning to All.

Every lawyer and every person in NSW is in danger. The legal regulators, the Law Society of NSW and the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (OLSC), have shown corrupt conduct: concealing misconduct, protecting judicial officers and practitioners reported for indictable offences, and targeting instead the very witnesses and victims who came forward and made such reports.

The people of New South Wales are not safe when those entrusted with upholding the law and protecting society abandon their duties and act unlawfully. This is not regulation. It is corruption and unlawful acts disguised as law, and it strikes at the very foundation of the rule of law itself.

Instead of investigating and reporting suspected offences to the proper authorities, as required by the Legal Profession Uniform Law (Uniform Law), they have disregarded their statutory duties.

Instead, they have engaged in unlawful conduct: targeting, silencing, and threatening the very witnesses, victims, and whistleblowers who made such reports and notices to them.

This case shows how regulators use their offices not to uphold the law, but to shield those they choose to protect from accountability. They fabricate records against innocent lawyers, in this instance, two witnesses, victims, and whistleblowers who, since 2016, have reported systemic fraud involving Credit Corp Group, Credit Corp Services Pty Ltd, and their lawyers (Certus Partners and Piper Alderman).

The fraud follows an established modus operandi: Credit Corp files civil claims under fictional “contracts” that do not exist. They have never been required to produce these contracts in court. Yet, with the assistance of compromised court officers and regulators, they continue to obtain judgments, destroying livelihoods, families, and businesses, and perpetuating generational harm and debt-slavery.

Despite proceedings in the Local Court, Supreme Court (costs assessments), District Court, and Court of Appeal, and despite years of notices and reports to the Law Society of NSW PSD and OLSC, no judicial officer, costs assessor, or regulator has ever required Credit Corp to produce the contract it materially relies upon. None exists.

When the two lawyers uncovered this fraud, victims began contacting their firm, Odtojan Bryl Lawyers, reporting the same pattern: claims filed under non-existent contracts, backed by fraudulent representations.

At the very moment this fraud was being exposed and reported to AFCA and beyond, retaliation escalated. Ms Odtojan and Mr Bryl were unlawfully stripped of their practising rights while handling multiple Credit Corp cases. Their firm was silenced. Their voices were targeted.

Retaliation had, in fact, already begun in 2016, when Florian Ammer of Piper Alderman was assisted in hovering a complaint during live court proceedings, contrary to the regulators’ own guidelines that they are not to interfere in proceedings on foot.

Nicholas Ford of Coram Chambers, Miles Condon SC of New Chambers, and Thomas Glynn of Glynn Lawyers systematically gaslit their client after engaging in fraud, depriving their client of their day in court and obstructing their appeal rights. They then framed their client in their profession, including their law firm, recording as if their client and the law firm had conducted their client's own case. The pattern included tampered court documents, fraudulent representations, missing trust funds, and the withholding of court materials. In 2022, a tort claim was brought against them, yet they were shielded by judicial officers. False records were made for their benefit, despite the fact that they never appeared in court and gave no evidence.

The retaliation became blatant when Ms Odtojan filed a tort claim against Ford, Glynn, and Condon SC. Judicial officers, including Registrar J Howard, District Court judges Norton and Ainslie-Wallace, and Court of Appeal Justices M. Leeming, J. Kirk, J. Basten, and R. White, in interlocutory proceedings fabricated records to frame and erase the two lawyers. Even Odtojan Bryl Lawyers was falsely recorded in judgments where it had never appeared. This was obstruction and perversion of justice at the highest level.

No one is above the law. Justices Mark Leeming, Jeremy Kirk, John Basten, and Richard White made false records in their judgments and targeted two innocent lawyers, parties to proceedings, witnesses, and victims. They were aware of their conduct and were notified. As judicial officers, they have a positive duty to self-report. Making false records in legal instruments and judgments is an indictable offence. These false records were then perpetuated by the Law Society of NSW, which weaponised them to strip two innocent lawyers of their practising rights and render them unfit solely on these judges' commentaries. This is an orchestrated channel of fraud. A conspiracy that exposes the criminal mind and intent.

Mr Bryl, who only briefly appeared in the interlocutory leave to appeal hearing (limited to 20 mins each party), was also immediately targeted.

This is the undocumented truth: a systemic fraud protected by regulators, enforced by compromised judicial officers, and retaliated against by the very bodies entrusted with upholding the rule of law.

Premeditated Targeting: How the Law Society’s Law Council and PSD Fabricated False “Unfitness” Records, Assisted and Condoned by the Attorney General and the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner

The Law Society of NSW President Jennifer Ball, 15 Council members (including Brett McGrath), and Professional Standards Department (PSD) officers Valerie Griswold (Director) and Nadya Haddad (Deputy Director), together with Attorney General Michael Daley, MP Hugh McDermott, and the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (OLSC), are alleged to have conspired to defraud two lawyers of their practising certificates. 

The OLSC did not merely “stand by”,  it had an active statutory duty to oversee the Law Society, to intervene in the face of conflicts of interest or breakdowns, and to act on notices and referrals, including a referral from the NSW Court of Appeal. 

Instead of questioning how a false record of “unfitness” could be created without lawful process, the OLSC condoned and perpetuated the fraud. It even recorded the false “unfitness” record on its OLSC public registry and has continued to rely on it. Each day that the record remains published, it causes ongoing detriment and damage to the lawyers and their firm, who are also victims and witnesses of the fraud and criminality.

These same officers, together with Hicksons, Hunt & Hunt Lawyers, are alleged to have misled the Supreme Court in their filed response. They had been notified of their paramount duties as model litigants and officers of the court, duties not to mislead the Court or assist their clients to do so. Despite admitting that no due process was conducted and that Chapter 5 of the Uniform Law was not applied, they nevertheless asserted that they had complied with lawful process.

Formal reports have been made against these officers to the appropriate authorities.

The Unlawful Corrupt Conduct

🔹 They unlawfully deprived two lawyers of their practising rights and livelihoods, without due process or lawful determination. This is not the Rule of Law. This is lawlessness.

🔹 They shut down a compliant law firm of 12 years’ standing and stripped clients of representation, obstructing access to justice.

🔹 There were no breaches of law, conduct, or ethics.

🔹 Nothing was ever proven. Their 20-plus-page decision was not a lawful determination but a bundle of grievances they wrote to themselves. They acted as both complainants and judges, manufacturing a mere “view” of unfitness.

🔹 They never disclosed a lawful process despite repeated requests for clarification of jurisdiction, process, and legal basis. No lawyer should ever be forced to guess what allegations are made or what process is being conducted against them. In this case, the two lawyers were not even informed why they were rendered “unfit,” as nothing was lawfully proven. A Kafkaesque situation.

Their actions amount to alleged serious interference with, and perversion of, justice by depriving two lawyers of legal proceedings under the Uniform Law.

These officers entered the lives of two professionals with wrecking balls, wielding their powers to target and retaliate against lawyers who lawfully made reports of serious misconduct and improprieties to NSW legal regulators, regulators who are required under statute to receive such reports.

The two lawyers were defrauded of their practising certificates; their firm’s funds were taken without acknowledgement; no certificates or memberships were issued; and every request for clarification was ignored. This constitutes fraud.

These officers hold positions of trust. Their duties extend beyond self-reporting: they must disclose serious conduct involving fraud and false records to the public and in their own declarations as lawyers. 

Their integrity and fitness are in question.

The Law Society of NSW and the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner fabricated a false “unfit” record under the names of the two lawyers, without due process, without findings, and without investigation. These false records, perpetuated and solidified, are alleged to constitute indictable offences and criminal defamation, committed in a public and regulatory office where statutory delegated powers are exercised.

🔹 No findings, no breaches, only a “mere view” emailed as a Section 45 decision.

🔹 Their sole reliance was on judicial commentary from an interlocutory leave-to-appeal hearing, judgments that had already been raised with them as false. Every notice, document, piece of evidence, and request for clarification was ignored.

🔹 No Chapter 5 process was applied. Three separate NSW Court of Appeal proceedings were referred to them, yet no case files were opened pertaining to Ford, Glynn and Condon SC, no investigations conducted, and no outcomes recorded. The Legal Services Commissioner knew this and had a duty to act, yet was complicit and even published false records on the OLSC public register.

🔹 They initially claimed “misconduct” to interfere with practising rights, then erased that claim in their decision. The Law Society’s first explanation of its process, in its Response to the Supreme Court, was to assert that Chapter 5 of the Uniform Law and findings of misconduct were “not required.”

🔹 Before issuing any decisions, the solicitors’ data and memberships disappeared from the Law Society’s systems. Notifications to the lawyers and their firm ceased as early as 2023, when Ms Odtojan’s tort case against Mr Ford, Mr Glynn, and Mr Condon SC was before the NSW Court of Appeal on a leave application.

Legal Regulators Compromised & Fosters Lawlessness 

This is the reality in NSW: livelihoods can be stripped by email, on a regulator’s mere “view,” without due process or lawful determination. False records are created and perpetuated into legal documents and transferred into other legal instruments. All this is unlawful, and it is done by the very officers entrusted to uphold the law. Such conduct brings the legal system and profession into disrepute.

False Records Rejected. Legal Regulators Notified of their Unlawful Corrupt Conduct. 

The two lawyers have never accepted these fraudulent decisions. A decision based on fraud has no legal standing in law. The officers were duly notified, and formal reports were made to the appropriate authorities. Despite this, the officers ignored every notice, continued to rely on their fraud, and escalated matters, making threats, perpetuating false records, and even seeking to benefit from their wrongdoing by demanding payments and damages.

The legality of their decisions is being challenged in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, and the hearings for judicial review are listed on the following dates:

🔹 26 November 2025 (Bryl v Law Society of NSW ) and

🔹 27 November 2025 (Odtojan v Law Society of NSW).

NSW Legal Regulators bring the legal system and profession into disrepute.

This is not the rule of law. This is happening in a democratic country, Australia.

These officers remain in office while:

🔹 ignoring every query and notice;

🔹 Acting above the law;

🔹 Using their positions to intimidate, threaten and discredit witnesses, victims, and whistleblowers;

🔹Retaliating against two innocent lawyers who acted lawfully;

🔹 Fabricating records in their section 45 decisions and under the lawyer's names;

🔹 Their actions show malice, and they demonstrate intent to continue to do harm.

The concealment of reports and notices also served to protect NSW Court of Appeal Justices M. Leeming, J. Kirk, J. Basten, and R. White, whose false records constitute serious offences in the administration of justice. Under section 465 of the Uniform Law the regulators had a duty to refer such matters to the proper authorities. Instead, they protected and concealed indictable offences. 

The legal regulators have been concealing suspected offences and misconduct referred/reported to them by the lawyers since 2016. 

A Historical Premeditated Act

Since 2016, the regulators had already shown their intent to target Ms Odtojan, a party to private civil proceedings, and a victim and witness of a crime in progress in court. Mr Bryl was also a witness. That year, they assisted Piper Alderman’s Partner, Florian Ammer in hovering his complaint against Ms Odtojan while he was engaged in fraudulent conduct, misleading the court with a fictional contract during an ongoing case to assist his client to obtain financial benefit by unlawful means. The regulators interfered with live proceedings despite their own guidelines prohibiting such conduct.

Despite Ms Odtojan raising the issue that no valid contract existed and that the court was being misled, including impersonation of lawyers by Natalie Miller, assisted by barrister Hartford Davis of Banco Chambers, the regulators never questioned Mr Ammer. Instead, they returned Ms Odtojan's extensive written submissions to them, so that they had no record of such documents.

Fast forward to July 2023: the regulators received a referral from the NSW Court of Appeal but chose not to notify the lawyers. Instead, they waited until May 2024, during the practising certificate renewal period, to weaponise that referral. They unlawfully interfered with practising certificates, creating a narrative of “misconduct” and “prior misconduct.” There was no investigation or outcome of the referral; they relied solely on judicial commentary rather than any lawful determination.

By the time the Section 45 decision was issued, the lawyers had already been effectively erased from the Law Society's registry of solicitors and database

Law Society PSD Director and Deputy Director's Threats and Demands to Delete Evidence and Payments

Valerie Griswold (Director) & Nadya Haddad (Deputy Director) conducted the undisclosed Law Society processes, inventing misconduct narratives that disappeared from their own decisions. Despite being on notice of unlawful conduct, Griswold signed false “unfit” decisions. They ignored every notice, escalated with threats, demanded the deletion of evidence posts, and even threatened four litigation proceedings after being served with a Supreme Court summons. Bound by law to act impartially, they chose malice, self-interest, and complete disregard for duty and process.

The very PSD officers who conducted the undisclosed internal Law Society process, Ms Valerie Griswold (Director) and Ms Nadya Haddad (Deputy Director), fabricated misconduct, shifted narratives, deleted solicitors’ records, and blocked memberships. This was done before any decisions were issued to the lawyers.

After issuing their decisions dated 30 May 2025, signed by Ms Griswold (who was already on notice of her unlawful and corrupt conduct), they used their regulatory positions and information obtained in office, to access the lawyers’ data, issue threats, demand deletion of public posts that served as evidence (posts they themselves referred to and attached to their decisions), and even demand payment.

Four threat letters from Valerie Griswold & Nadya Haddad, nearly 100 pages,  evidence their malice and intent to destroy.

Not content with unlawfully stripping two lawyers of their practising rights, livelihoods, firm, and clients, they now target their survival efforts and advocacy. In their letters, they discredit the Odtojan Bryl Justice Project by falsely claiming that the lawyers are misleading the public. The Lawyers' project exposes their unlawful, corrupt conduct.

Driven by self-interest to protect their own unlawful acts, they demand the permanent deletion of public posts, notices and reports, even the notice to the NSW Premier, Police and AFP. 

After engaging in multiple unlawful and corrupt conduct, they now frame themselves as "victims" in their written threat letter to the lawyers, demanding payments and damages. They are effectively extorting funds from the very victims of their alleged fraud and criminal conduct.

Legal Regulators' Vested Interest and Self-Preservation in Office

These very individuals, Ms Griswold, Ms Haddad, the Law Society President, Ms Ball, 15 Council members, the Legal Services Commissioner, Ms Samantha Gulliver, and Attorney General and MP Hugh McDermott, hold positions of trust, yet have vested interests in silencing and harming witnesses and victims of their unlawful conduct. 

They have misused privileged information and acted in pure self-interest.

After committing such unlawful acts, they can only operate in self-preservation; their integrity is compromised. And so they continue: using their office and positions to cover their tracks, perpetuate false records, invent narratives, and retaliating against two innocent lawyers instead of adhering to their duties and acting lawfully.

As the Attorney General and MP Hugh McDermott joined in, making false allegations of "prior misconduct: which did not exist, they have also engaged in unlawful, corrupt conduct and have been called to resign. See Petition: https://chng.it/rwDpr72ZpH

A call for NSW Attorney General Michael Daley & MP Hugh McDermott to resign, for orchestrating with the Law Society a false narrative of “misconduct” and condoning unlawful, corrupt conduct. They have remained silent since November 2024, when asked to substantiate their representations for the Law Society.

What does any perpetrator want to do to a witness or victim? To silence and discredit them by inflicting as much damage as possible.

These officers pose a danger because they are using their powers in office to issue legal instruments and documents disguised as lawful, while they are operating in self-preservation to conceal their coordinated, unlawful corrupt conduct.

They can no longer operate with integrity, as they have implicated themselves and will forever operate in self-interest and self-preservation.

Judicial officers made false records and referrals, which the OLSC and Law Society then used to target two lawyers, perpetuating the fraudulent recordings into their section 45 documents, concealing indictable offences.

We are making this public because judicial and regulatory officers have created false public records on legal documents and under our names, misleading the public and authorities about the facts and truth. Formal reports have been made against these officers.

These are not ordinary individuals: they are regulators and officers of the court, entrusted with oaths to uphold the rule of law, the integrity of the courts, and the legal profession. Instead, they used those powers to render two innocent lawyers “unfit” by email, shifting narratives of “misconduct” for over a year. This proves they can do it to anyone in their positions: frame them up, make false records, publish and perpetuate them, then push those falsehoods through legal channels and the media, with outlets such as Lawyers Weekly and journalist Naomi Neilson and their own Law Society Journal (LSJ) spreading the misinformation.

Remaining in office, these individuals pose a clear and present danger to the public. Their conduct undermines justice, the rule of law, and the integrity of the legal system and profession, bringing all of it into disrepute.
