The person in question clearly was not conversant with Australian law.
A good thing to point out to American lawyers in cases like this is loser pays the lot, too.  So they'd lose, have to pay opposition costs, probably get made to pay extra for being idiots and wasting the court's time, etc... |
Well, then they were not so dumb after all. They just tried the only thing that might work, and it didn't.
"Loser pays" is not the rule in the US, but any competent lawyer should be aware that it's not the case in other Anglo countries - it's called "the English Rule" & covered in first year procedure. Or at least, it was when I was in law school, way back when. "Kids these days..."
