Formal complaints regarding the S-G's actions have been filed with the Office of the Attorney General Michael Cullen and a petition asking for an inquiry is being prepared for Parliament.  As this article goes to press, the office of the S-G has not issued a formal response to the allegations of abuse of office. [RELATED STORY LINK BLOCKED BY ORDER OF NZ SOLICITOR GENERAL - EMAIL HIM  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

On 31 July 2007, a further letter was sent by the Solicitor General, this time alleging the website breached an 'interim' injunction that has been in place for more than two years - an injunction that prevents evidence [SENTENCE DELETED BY ORDER OF NZ SOLICITOR GENERAL - EMAIL HIM AT This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Mr. Stiassny has failed to advance his defamation claim that underpinned the injunction since it was issued in April 2005. Recently, the Court of Appeal ignored evidence - evidence furthermore caught on tape - that showed Mr. Stiassny had perjured himself when filing the affidavit required to obtain the injunction. At least two of Stiassny's former lawyers now sit on the High Court. Mr. Stiassny has recently become a close business associate of Supreme Court Chief Justice Sian Elias's husband Hugh Fletcher.

Mr. Stiassny made his personal fortune as an insolvency practitioner and Mr. Siemer, who himself holds an MBA degree and is a successful businessman with interests here and in the United States, has staunchly maintained that his investigation into Mr. Stiassny's business record has revealed a troubling ineptitude in managing productive enterprises - all of which pose significant ongoing risk to the New Zealand public.

Since these revelations began to surface Mr. Stiassny has been kicked off the boards of Met Life and Metrowater Ltd. While Mr. Stiassny has brutally held on to his chairmanship of Vector, it has come at a significant cost to the Country with the three most experienced directors on the Vector board resigning en-masse last December, and the CFO and CEO both resigning in the last three months. All cited conflicts with, and lack of confidence in, Stiassny as a significant factor in their departures.

It was reported that the departing directors noted Stiassny's litigious ways. On this point, Siemer says Stiassny is not only the single greatest patron of the Courts but extremely blessed by gratuitous judgments that defy legal reasoning in many cases. Stiassny's court largesse and lawyer-turned-judge relationships will be detailed in a book Siemer plans to publish next year..
