Equity law
Its time to sort out the confusion with regards to law firms.
January 9, 2015 |

The law society have a statutory duty to deal with two groups of persons – lawyers and incorporated law firms .
The first one is seemingly straight forward a lawyer gets a practicing certificate and is for that year a lawyer and is placed on the law societies register .
The law society also provides a page called “Find a Lawyer or Organisation” and by entering a name onto that search field and selecting “organisation” names come up.
Basic logic would have you think that the “organisations’ would be incorporated law firms but that is not so. The reality is that the organisation search is grossly deceptive, to such an extent that even the staff administering the register cannot tell you if these ” organisations “are incorporated law firms or not.
An incorporated law firm is defined as
incorporated law firm means, subject to sections 15 and 16, a company that—(a) provides to the public services that are, in relation to a lawyer, regulated services; and(b) has as its directors no persons other than lawyers who are actively involved in the provision by the body corporate of regulated services; and(c) has as its shareholders, in respect of shares that confer voting rights, no persons other than—(i) lawyers of the kind described in paragraph (b); or(ii) persons who are administrators of the estates of persons who, at the time of their death, were lawyers of the kind described in paragraph (b); and(d) has as its shareholders, in respect of shares that do not confer voting rights, no persons other than—(i) lawyers of the kind described in paragraph (b) (any 1 or more or each of whom may, but none of whom is required to, hold those shares as a trustee of a qualifying trust); or(ii) persons who are relatives of lawyers of the kind described in paragraph (b); or(iii) persons who are administrators of the estates of persons who, at the time of their death, were shareholders of the kind described in subparagraph (i) or subparagraph (ii)
the act then goes on to relies on section 21 Provision of legal services for the protection of legal services and states
(1) A person commits an offence who, not being a lawyer or an incorporated law firm,—(a) provides legal services in New Zealand; and(b) describes himself, herself, or itself as—(i) a lawyer; or(ii) a law practitioner; or(iii) a legal practitioner; or(iv) a barrister; or(v) a solicitor; or(vi) a barrister and solicitor; or(vii) an attorney-at-law; or(viii) counsel.
So does this mean that a firm which is not a law firm does not commit an offence if it provides legal services and
- cannot be identified as a person
- does not call itself lawyer, barrister etc as above.
section 22 Misleading descriptions
It is clear that this section is there for non lawyers who hold themselves out to be lawyers but what if a lawyer is holding a fictional company out to be a law firm. – section 23 does not give much support, it appears to exonerate actions as long as there is a lawyer involved somewhere in the process.
But Lawyers have rules too , they are enforced more or less through the law society . However the law society is frequently conflicted in their roles of membership organisation and a disciplinary body.
It is after all lawyers controlling their own and this too of deception has been part of a lawyers artillery for centuries so why should they give away a tool of deception ? It suits lawyers and the law society to be vague about law firms as this way they preserve their fidelity fund as no one can bring a claim against a fictional law firm.
The rules of conduct are found here You may be wondering why we have brought this issue up .. well it is for very good reason it is one of those twisty nasty tings which makes lawyers always right and you always wrong.. In our opinion it is Identity deception/fraud.
Our director engages a lawyer .. she met him in what she believed to be the offices of his law firm Equity law Barristers Limited , he sends away a staff member to complete the contract and a contract emerges in the name of Equity law Chambers .
The law practice is referred to as Equity law regularly in correspondence and the current web page at the time shows the People involved with what is referred to as Equity law.
Equity Law barristers Limited started its life as Equity law 2007 limited. there are no other companies on the companies register which bear the name “equity law ” and the company now known as Equity law barristers is shown as having been co directed by the the lawyers wife and she also held 50% shareholding of the company up until 16 November 2011 this means that by the legal definition of Incorporated law firm equity law barristers was not and could not have been an incorporated law firm at the time when it agreed , under a trading name to provide me with legal services.
The agreement was that Barristers from within the chambers supervised by the head of chambers, were to do the work . However the staff who worked on my matter were generally new graduates who had neither been admitted to the bar and therefore did not have a practicing certificate ( you will also find that the law society claims privacy when you ask who had a practicing certificate when )
Inquiries with the law society have complicated matters further , they tell me that Equity law barristers limited was an ” an incorporated barristers practice ” from November 2008 they will not go so far as to say if it was incorporated law firm and they will not say on what basis it is an incorporated law firm. – vagueness is protecting their fidelity fund.
On the other hand the court is very strict on identities a company is a separate legal identity from a person but here were have a situation where a company is using a trading name and the director has now claimed the trading name as his own. The law society in their wisdom made a decision naming the director of Equity law barristers limited and told him to reduce his invoices and refund our director. However he refused we now have a gigantic mess where by the incorporated barristers firm may not have been an incorporated law firm and could not have provided andy legal services, but because there was a lawyer hanging about in the side office it is not an offence.
Another point of interest with this law firm is that the shareholder and other director the Lawyers common law wife appears to have had her signature forged. But that wont matter either they will have some explanation for that like a sprained wrist .
It appears that the law applies strictly to us and loosely to lawyers .. that has to change.
This brings about massive identity issues and made us focus on the organizations which the law society lists.
Many of the ” law firms ” are just trading names, unidentified trading names
some of the limited liability companies listed do not qualify as Incorporated law firms because of the share holding issue.
Solicitors trust accounts which do have lawyers as directors and share holders are not incorporated law firms but would qualify on face value as such .
This whole area is a massive deception
Stewart & Associates Equity Law still appears on the ” organisation list” it is neither a company nor is it a firm as it only has one employee a lawyer who is not capable due to her lack of seniority to practice on her own account.
Also look at Brookfields and Brookfields – Wellington branch , who is it a trading name for ? it could be any of these or none.
It is time that the law society tidied up their ” find a lawyer data base. we the public should be able to go to the database and identify the law firms and the lawyers practicing in their own name.

The curious case of Equity Law and Equity Trust International
There is a very big anomaly in New Zealand with regards to law firms , they are not readily identifiable and even the law society has trouble telling you what is a law firm and what is not a law firm.
Lets look at some entries on their register at a listing for Stewart and associates Equity law
You wont find it on the companies register and even the registration on the solicitors roll is deceptive as the address is in Auckland and the phone number is in Alexandra.
Also you have to wonder how an organization can operate from a Po Box. .. bit cramped we would have thought .
Try to physically locate it and you will never find it as the ” organisation ” doe not exist and it is indeed a fictional law firm .
This fictional law firm, fictional entity is however the instructing solicitors in court action agaisnt us . The law firm only has one lawyer a young lady named Julia Leenoh. Julia is not her real name and neither is Leenoh apparently as she does not appear to have obtained her degree in that name and appears to be Joo Yeon Lee
Now this fictional law firm came about apparently through the ” merger” with Equity law .
Now the objective of this blog post is to identify who or what Equity law is .. I warn you you are going to get dizzy .
It is of note that when the proceedings were commenced against us the fourth plaintiff was identified as Equity Chambers we then received a memorandum to say
“This document notifies you that the fourth Plaintiff was incorrectly named as Equity Law Chambers. It should instead be amended to Equity Law Barristers Limited, as incorporated company, having its registered offices at Level 4, Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland. ”
We had rather foolishly thought that equity law was equity law barristers as all the signage in the building indicate 
equity law as being inthe building and when our director had close relationships with the law firm it appeared to be a law firm .
let us look at the history of Equity law .. assuming that it is the company Equity law barristers Limited
the company was formed 19 Dec 2006 as Equity law 2007 Limited
Captures from the way back machine show the very first we presence that they captured on 17 August 2007
the web site was registered 20:19 27/3/2007 to equity law Limited we note that there is no such company as Equity law limited but even the registrar of domain names agrees that this must be the company which owns the web site becasue the other associated companies did not exist at that time
Equity trust International Limited was incorporated 26 may 2008
Equity trust International tax agents Limited was incorporated 15 November 2011
Going back to Equity Law 2007 Limited we note that it had two directors
These two persons are also involved in the legal action against us .
Action was originally taken agaisnt a member and when the plaintiffs agreed it was an error they eventually submitted proper documentation which shows the other plaintiffs signatures.
this is the signature of the second Plaintiff 
now look at the initial filing documents of the company for this same person and the signature is some what different the 
full document is on this link it is the fourth document from the bottom this and the share holder link is this the actual signature for the share holder is this
Our research shows that the actual signature is the very first one
to us it appears that a law firm has been set up using fraudulent signatures. But could it even have been a law firm ? seems like no one can tell us. Now The director of the firm claims that Equity law is a trading name he used. so the plot thickens. perhaps we will never know.
The dubious signatures are a bit ironic as a member of the chambers was Frank Deliu who defended Lu Zhang “
Lu Zhang, 28, is accused of 75 offences of making false statements in company registration forms after she declared her office address was her residence in 75 companies she registered.
She was charged after a plane loads of weapons, including rockets and grenades, from North Korea bound for Iran was seized in Bangkok last year.
another new item is also worthy of reading this is an extract
“Former fast-food worker Lu Zhang, 28, was the sole director of Queen St registered SP Trading Ltd, a company that hired a plane discovered at Bangkok airport last December flying 25 tonnes of arms from North Korea to an unknown destination, believed to be Iran.
Zhang pleaded guilty yesterday to 74 charges of giving false residential information to the Companies Office, which registered multiple companies with her as a director. She could have faced up to five years in jail and/or a fine of $200,000, but was convicted and discharged.
Her lawyer, Frank Deliu, revealed that the Chinese ambassador in Wellington, Xu Jianguo, had written to Zhang’s immigration consultant, former immigration minister Tuariki Delamere, who had briefed him on what was happening. Mr Xu’s letter was included in affidavits.“ see article
it is interesting to note that Tuariki Delamare operates a floor below that of Equity law see this
The entire building appears to be abuzz with inter connected activity just recently the bank Breder Suasso was found operating on the second floor with a fake reception see the news item here
The fourth Floor of 44 Khyber pass used to be just the law firm and the travel agent next door but now we have a raft of activity there including forex traders and Equity trust International which sets up new Zealand companies for foreigners .
The instructing solicitor in the action against us is Greg Stewart , although he works in Alexandra he is the director of this company and also supervised Julia Leenoh from his desk in Otago .
we have now got a most confusing situation where by the court papers filed Greg Stewart claims that Equity law barristers limited was not the law firm called equity law in one lot of proceedings and claims that it was in another lot of proceedings.
the Statement of Claim and the Bundle for defence part 1 and Bundle for defence part 2 AND Bundle for defence part 3 and the defamation defence COMBINED are at the links
they have been served on the lawyer who is appearing on the matter and who has been signing the submissions but refuses to file a representation . this is Michael Locke we believe he is the one and the same who appears on the insolvency web site having been recently released from bankruptcy 
.
The plaintiffs have been attempting to silence us because the truth is inconvenient
our revelations that the former lawyer did not have a proper law firm, and the fact that the associated trust firm passes itself off as a ;w firm is of concern. as are the mention of 10 million dollar bank accounts, solicitor escrow accounts and the offer of passports from the Dominican republic, St Kitts and Nevis as second passports to open up the world for would be investors.
Interesting holiday reading of what he world so called second least corrupt country facilitates.
We stand by our research the truth is the truth .
Transparency International New Zealand will you unmask the corrupt ?
Transparency International are running an excellent campaign called Unmask the corrupt .Ironically this is what we have been doing and have been sued for , that is because we have been doing it on our own.
There is a vast difference between Transparency International and their NZ branch , The New Zealand branch dedicates it web site to showing how well we are doing at being ” corruption Free” while the rest of the world actually fights corruption.
We often point out that if you ignore cancer you will succumb to it , the same is true of corruption.
We have New Zealand companies involved in international trade, not all of it legitimately see this news item.
Naked Capitalism a web site operated overseas by a number of top class journalists and connected to the international consortium of investigative journalists have published a number of articles with regards to the activity of Money laundering in New Zealand see this post entitled “New Zealand, Fresh From Its Service to Mexican Drug Lords, Helps Out the Russian Mafia” and a more recent onesNew Zealand’s GT Group in Romania, Moldova and the UK,
While New Zealand’s Company Law Reform Stalls, GT Group Helps a Thieving Ukrainian Despot
New Zealand: Pseudo-Financial Companies, and GT Group, Both Still Going Strong.
What is significant is that the Government thinks that they have closed down the GT group but many of the companies once administered by a new zealand company .Just one such example is GT GLORIA TRADING
This company overseas companies and has a disproportionate Russian representation .
Even many of the people involved are what we call name shifters and so are the companies themselves , this is so that you never really know who you are dealing with .
Alex Bushe of equity law also appears to be one and the same as Alexander BUSHUEV, who is the director of a number of Equities companies SEDLEX LIMITED (5058320) – Director & Shareholder GLOBAL WEALTH GROUP LIMITED (5433544) – Director & Shareholder FIDELIS INTERNATIONAL TRADING LIMITED (5318101) – Director & Shareholder BLACKLIST DEBT RECOVERY LIMITED (4361899) – Director & Shareholder STEIGEN MAKLER LIMITED (5170404) – Director & Shareholder DRAGON GROUP LIMITED (5433581) – Director & Shareholder
another such person is Gregory Shelton who also appears to be the one and the same as Grigori CHELOUDIAKOV who took over the shareholdings of several companies including IMEXO PRANA and CRESTPOINT TRADE
Both of these companies had former director latvian Inta bilder and are associate to the companies involved in this news item NZ shell company linked to alleged $150m fraud AND SEE the latvian proxys
So needless to say we whole heatedly support the initiative of Transparency International in the UNMASK THE CORRUPT CAMPAIGN .
Transparency International Finally uses the C word
Transparency International New Zealand has tried so hard to ignore the corruption in New Zealand but has finally conceded that we have it. In their latest news letter they mention no less than three items .
New Zealand Shell Companies Involved in Huge Money-laundering Operation
New Zealand shell companies may have played a part in the biggest money-laundering operation in Eastern Europe. A recent investigation by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) exposed an enormous US$20 billion ($24.4 billion) transfer of dirty Russian funds, dubbed ‘the Laundromat’. Read the story by Richard Meadows in stuff.co.nz.
Evidence of corruption a National scandal – Harre
Internet Party leader Laila Harre will take evidence of corruption to international forums if there is not a full Royal Commission to investigate the growing evidence of the systematic use and abuse of democratic institutions and processes for political gain
Money, politics and scandal in New Zealand’s election
Post election, Washington based Lisa Rosenburg of the Sunlight Foundation, and former legislative assistant to Senator John Kerry, suggested that New Zealand will need to address weaknesses in its political finance system to retain “its squeaky clean reputation and its first place as the least corrupt nation…” sunlightfoundation.com/money-politics-and-scandal-in-new-zealands-election
The article by Richard Meadow refers to web site Naked Capitalism. In a recent article on that site Richard Smith states
GT Group was linked to the biggest money-laundering operation in US history.
It does not take much searching to find that a variety of GT group companies which survived being struck off have found a new registered office at the EQUITY GROUP , others have been registered again using the names of the struck off companies as shown below.
Companies registered to the premises of Equity group frequently use the very same directors identified as proxy directors in international press . In this case we look at Leah Toureleo of B.p. 1487, 1 Port Vila, Pot 540208, Port Vila , Vanuatu who is as is mentioned in the Richard meadows story NZ firm named in huge European scam
Leah Toureleo has the following active companies
PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (3934638) Registered Company

How struck off lawyers continue to practice
It is business as usual at the premises of Equity law Barristers Limited, the only things that have changed is that the receptionist now answers the phone as equity group. Ask her if it is a law firm and she will tell you that it is .
The sign in the foyer and by the lift at 44 Khyber pass road still read Equity Law . The business of Equity law barristers has allegedly been ” merged with Stewart an associates lawyers limited a firm from Alexandra operated by an associate of Equity law barristers director . Greg Stewart is also director of associates companies operated from the same premises EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED . The share holder of this company is the ultimate shareholder of companies such as Unihold . Maxhold which are companies directed by Cypriot Manti EFFROSYNI they have a interesting origin and have owned a multitude of off shore trust companies between them. they had origins with Glenn SMITH ( THE COMPANY NET TRUST ) 69 Ridge Road, Albany, Auckland , New Zealand see news item Web of intrigue
It appears that EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED took over the administration a number of Glen Smith and Gt Taylor’s companies .
Both Greg Stewart and the director of Equity trust placed their wives in positions of ultimate share holders of companies which had been operated by Smith and Taylor.
Although the web site of the former law firm has gone and the principal no longer holds a practicing certificate a you tube clip promoting the firm as a law firm still exists
Today we obtained information from Julia Leenoh that she is working under the ” trading “name Stewart and associates equity law which she claims is a branch of Stewart and Associates .
The fact that she is a very new lawyer working under what appears to be the supervision of a struck off lawyer appears to be beside the point see Lawyers to face forced competency test
Open letter to Greg Stewart of Stewart and associates Law.
Good afternoon Greg.
This morning I had yet another truck load of documents served on me on behalf of Stewart and associates equity law . These documents were the same as last time except that they have now been filed in the court prior to service.
I also received a notice seeking to change the fourth defendant from Equity law to equity law barristers Ltd. there is however no clarification of the first plaintiff Equity trust International and I am uncertain as to whether this is the tax agent or the company which is involved in international trusts which are regularly in the overseas press . for certainty the companies I refer to are
- EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – 2136248 – NZBN: 9429032722697
(previously known as STAR CHAMBER LIMITED)
- EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL TAX AGENTS LIMITED – 3658153 – NZBN: 9429030881143
I note that you are the director of the former and the share holder is your partners wife while the latter is owned and directed by the wife
I also received a bankruptcy notice which is rather deficient in many ways and did not have a judgment attached.
The only sealed order which I received was fraudulently obtained see the detail under How to make an extra couple of grand and get the registrar to sign off on it
That debt was addressed through the Set-Off Act 1735 as per my communications with Mr Bogiatto .
Since communicating the set off to him, I have heard no more about this matter and have presumed that the debt was settled especially since the law society have found that I was over charged by some $30,000.
I am rather accustomed to having a payment reminder or demand of some sort sent to me if there was still a sum outstanding. ESPECIALLY given that I believe it has been settled.
section 4 of the lawyers and conveyancers act makes it clear that you have to uphold the rule of law
It is therefore quite in appropriate for you to issue a bankruptcy demand for a debt that has been settled.
If there was an issue with the set off I woudl have thought that it woudl have been appropriate for some one to have communicated with me since the 25 February when I advised that the debt was settled by that means.
I also asked for a proper set of accounts as the sum which could be claimed was not $5038 . The judge awarded costs on a 1 A basis . work it out yourself the sealed order is a document which Bogiatto caused to be sealed knowing it to be false , ( please refer to my correspondence with him )
I wish to advise you that your practice is being used for fraud by continuing with the bankruptcy claim you are a party to the offence . You are taking this action on behalf of your client to cause me financial hardship and waste my time .
the action is an abuse of the process of the court because
- The debt has been settled by way of offset Act
- the sum is fraudulently obtained as it is greater than the court awarded
- No communication has been received to advise that the sum is still considered as outstanding.
- You are seeking to have it paid to EVGENCY ??
- the sealed order has not been attached sealed order
- the sealed order is fraudulent as 1A is 1 day allowance not three as I had pointed out in detail to Bogiatto both before and after the order was sealed. the difference being $2,640.
I again advise you to do due diligence with your directorship of EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
It would appear that your wife Alice has taken over the directorship of EUROSTONE HOLDINGS LIMITED , the previous director was Evgeny’s receptionist who was uncomfortable with the three directorships which he had asked her to take on. an it was only when I saw the international connections that she realised she was being used.

“Ulpiano Calderon MORENO, director of four live NZ companies and 106 companies struck off in the NZ registrar’s Great Deregistration Frenzy.”
Edgardo MEDINA
Company directorships
59 New Zealand
All New Zealand companies have been struck off except these two .
I am going through all of the companies registered to L 4, 44 Khyber pass and sharing my findings with the international press as this totally integrates with their work on money laundering . I will of course be sharing this with the authorities. Knows my investigation skills that is why he is attacking me , the more he attacks the more I discover and publish .
Please remember the rules something about a lawyer needing to remain independent and not using their office for fraud. Also look up section 66 Crimes act .
so in summary I cannot be bankrupted for a sum which is
- not owing
- based on a fraudulently sealed order
- abuse of process
He wants me to get a lawyer so that I can be out of pocket even if the court orders costs in my favour he wont pay it , so I am not playing his game
Look forward to hearing from you very soon , if not then I will put all of this ( and more ) through to the court in the period prescribed .

law society complaint with regards to practicing by proxy
Sent: Tuesday, 22 July 2014 12:26 p.m.
To: ‘complaints@lawsociety.org.nz’
Subject: complaint with regards to Stewart and associates equity law
I wish to make a complaint with regards to a fictional law firm
Stewart and associates lawyers are an incorporated law firm director Greg Stewart . shareholders are himself and his non lawyer wife
Equity law is another law firm sole director and shareholder is shown here
There is no person known as Stewart and associated equity law it is merely a concoction of an incorporated law firm and a firm belonging to a non practicing off lawyer .
In June this year Leenoh, Joo Yeon obtained a practicing certificate and is shown as being an employee of Stewart and associated equity law
I have established that this recent graduate is practicing from the premises of this company at level 4 44 khyber pass Grafton
The letter head she uses has both law firms named on it . I note that on your roll she used the south Island practitioners phone number but she is not located there and by ringing that number you are given the Auckland number to ring which is the number for this former law firm.
Julia Leenoh has commenced proceedings on behalf of the former lawyer , I am a former client of his and he was directed to pay me $30,000 , he has appealed this to the LCRO and also chosen to take me to court for defamation for publishing items which relate to overseas directors who are involved in Money laundering and company fraud. He timed this to coincide with a notice of the LCRO advising that the matter will be dealt with soon.
• The directors whom I wrote about in particular Eric Vanagels and Inta bilder who through the company register trace back to New Zealand and directly tolevel 4 44 khyber pass road.
• the former lawyer has know that these articles have been there for a year since I drew his attention to them at the time .
• I have amended the posts since he has attacked me in this way to include greater detail of his connection .
Leenoh appears to be being used as a proxy . The file is appalling and the statement of claim names Greg Stewart as solicitor on record. However I do not believe that he has seen the file at all . The statement of claim was served without being filed in court . It was served with a notice of proceedings which had not been filed in court and a bundle of irrelevant documents .
A few days later she sent a notice of proceedings by mail with the covering letter as above . We have no way of knowing if the documents filed in court are the same as those which were served on us . We have brought this matter to their attention but it is apparently being ignored .
The proceedings are vexatious and intent to force us to incur a cost in hiring a solicitor due to the matter being high court and their objection to the company being represented by a lay litigant / director .
My complaint is about the manner in which Leenoh is being used as a proxy and working under the name of a fictional law firm which uses and Auckland address and an Alexandra phone number
