As the bitter family feud wound up in the Supreme Court, lawyers for the mother of singer Vanessa Amorosi delivered one last curveball.
Justice Steven Moore bears more than a passing resemblance to Guy Pearce, and typically presides over his courtroom with a similarly Zen-like demeanour.
That conversation – in which it was alleged that a house owned by Robinson and her husband, Peter, was to be sold at Amorosi’s request in order to reduce the debt on her US home – was first mentioned in evidence by Peter last week. Much of the day was consumed with case law and debate over what the applicable rate of interest should be if the judge found Amorosi was the rightful owner of the Narre Warren property but that Robinson should be repaid the money from the sale of the other home, proceeds of which had paid down Amorosi’s debts.
