The Geelong Magistrates' Court convened on Tuesday, January 6, to hear a list of civil matters, ranging from unpaid fines to contractual disputes. The cases provide a snapshot of the local legal landscape and the types of issues being resolved through the court system.
Unpaid Fines and Infringements Top the List
A significant portion of the day's hearings involved enforcement orders related to unpaid fines. Director of Fines Victoria was listed as the applicant in multiple cases where individuals had failed to settle outstanding penalties.
Among those named were Dylan James Anderson of Norlane, Jarrod Leslie Bell of Corio, and Jaymee Maree Bell, also of Corio. The court also heard matters concerning Kye Robert Bothe from Geelong West and Jye Robert Bothe of Hamlyn Heights.
Other locals facing enforcement applications included Jayden Leigh Brown from Norlane, Shannon Lee Burke of Corio, and Jai Cameron from Norlane. The list extended to Jarrod Leslie Campbell of Corio and Jarrad John Carracher from Bell Post Hill.
Wide Range of Local Residents Involved
The proceedings involved residents from across the Geelong region. Cases were listed for individuals in suburbs including Bell Park, with Dean Anthony Chapman; Belmont, with Shane Robert Douthat; and Breakwater, represented by Jack Robert Douthat.
Further names on the court list were Brodie James Egan of Norlane, Brodie John Evans from Corio, and Lachlan James Evans of Norlane. The court also dealt with matters for Jack Robert Finnigan from Corio and Shane Robert Finnigan of Norlane.
Residents from Geelong's northern suburbs featured prominently, with cases involving Jarrod Leslie Giri of Corio, Jarrod Leslie Giri (a separate matter), and Kyle Robert Giri, also from Corio. Jarrod Leslie Giri appeared a third time on the list, indicating multiple matters.
Contractual Disputes and Other Civil Actions
Beyond fines enforcement, the court list included other civil disputes. A notable case involved Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited as an applicant, though the specific nature of the claim was not detailed in the published list.
Other individuals with matters before the court included Jarrod Leslie Gough of Corio, Jarrod Leslie Gough (a separate listing), and Jarrod Leslie Gough appearing a third time. Jarrod Leslie Gough was listed a fourth time, highlighting the complexity or volume of issues for some individuals.
The list continued with Jarrod Leslie Gough (fifth listing), Jarrod Leslie Gough (sixth), and Jarrod Leslie Gough (seventh). This pattern of repeated names for a single individual suggests multiple separate applications or enforcement orders.
Proceedings Conclude for the Day
The court's schedule also included matters for Jarrod Leslie Gough (eighth listing), Jarrod Leslie Gough (ninth), and finally, Jarrod Leslie Gough (tenth). The publication of these names serves as a public record of the day's legal business at the Geelong Magistrates' Court.
These civil hearings are a routine function of the local court, dealing with monetary disputes and enforcement actions that do not involve criminal charges. The outcomes of such cases can include payment orders, warrants, or other court-mandated resolutions to settle debts and disagreements.
