To: Subject: VLSB shuts down Serene Teffaha
Until two days ago, Melbourne lawyer Serene Teffaha represented thousands of clients who joined her class actions against the Victorian government. The class actions sought injunctions to restrain Victorian government authorities from imposing lockdowns and harassing and intimidating citizens under cover of the alleged COVID-19 crisis (read “scandal”).
On 14 April 2021 the Victorian Legal Services Board (VLSB) cancelled Serene’s practicing certificate and prohibited her from working, effective immediately.
It is not clear what allegations, if any, VLSB made against Serene. Its notice of decision includes its finding that Serena is “unable to fulfil the inherent requirements of an Australian legal practitioner”. No reasons are stated in the notice of decision.
VLSB declared Serene a “disqualified person” and appointed another lawyer to manage her legal practice. It is reasonable to think that the VLSB-appointee is a person palatable to the Victorian government. Serene’s class action clients, who originally were assured that their identities would not be revealed, now will be named to the VLSB-appointed lawyer. Class action clients now reasonably fear that the VLSB-appointee may reveal their names to the defendant Victorian government authorities.
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is assisting the VLSB in freezing Serene’s access to her firm’s accounts and transferring management of her and her clients’ assets to the VLSB-appointee.
