Subject: NOTICE OF PROCEDURAL BREACH, NEGLIGENCE, AND FAILURE TO DISCHARGE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS
Dear Ms Mony,
This correspondence is issued in direct response to your ongoing failure to acknowledge, respond to, or discharge your professional duties in connection with multiple formal communications sent on behalf of Mr K.D.
As legal representative of Ruah Community Services, you were advised of active claims regarding institutional abandonment, systemic disability negligence, breach of safeguarding obligations, and formal Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. These notifications included explicit references to:
- Legal risks arising from failure to escalate disclosures in accordance with statutory mandates;
- Specific safeguarding concerns, including suicidal ideation disclosures and unacted welfare risk notifications;
- FOI compliance requirements under the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (WA);
- Civil exposure arising under the Disability Services Act 1993 (WA) and Civil Liability Act 2002 (WA).
To date, your office has failed to:
- Issue any legally adequate acknowledgment of receipt;
- Respond to the outlined FOI disclosure requirements;
- Provide any formal update on escalation or complaint forwarding to the listed regulatory bodies;
- Uphold professional duties of legal courtesy and procedural transparency.
This non-responsiveness is now being treated as a deliberate obstruction and potential violation of professional conduct obligations as defined by the Legal Profession Uniform Law (WA) and associated Practice Rules.
Let it be clear: non-action constitutes action. Your continued silence has now passed into procedural default. Every hour without response compounds the legal and reputational exposure of both Ruah Community Services and your legal office.
Please be advised of the following:
- Your conduct is now being documented for review by external legal oversight and disciplinary boards.
- All materials provided to your office will be submitted to the WA Ombudsman, the Australian Human Rights Commission, and the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia.
- Your failure to respond within seventy-two (72) hours of this notice will result in direct public exposure of the breach, and your name and firm will be listed in future filings, media statements, and case summaries as contributors to institutional stonewalling and dereliction.
You are reminded that professional silence, when used as a shield against accountability, is no defence under law.
This is your final opportunity to course-correct.
All rights reserved. No further notice will be given before escalation.
Sincerely,
Kay Dee
Strategic Counsel
