AS A YOUNG COPPER and through to my time as a private investigator, which did not commence until some many years after I resigned from the force, I was taught that one could not serve summonses and such like papers within the precincts of the courts.
The legal papers I had this particular day were for one of the lowest fraudsters, stand over men, all round down-right pricks I had ever come across. I made a few more inquiries of a solicitor I knew and to my absolute delight I found the teaching I relied on was wrong.
I decided the new pure, very expensive silk, smiley tie I had been given would lift the day even further. Red and gold with a sun theme, people stopped me in the street to comment on it.
Nice suit, pin striped, those days Italian shoes, felt like a million bucks.
To top it off Michael James Giovinazzo, the prick I previously described was appearing on numerous fraud and theft charges in the Perth Court situated in St Georges Terrace, Hay Street.
