In a scathing judgment in February,the Full Court of the Family Court said Judge Vasta's conduct gave rise to a"gross miscarriage of justice".
In an unrelated case,the Federal Court this month gave a self-represented man in a workplace disputeleave to appeal against a preliminary order of Judge Vasta after the court heard the man was removed by security from the judge's courtroom for failing to answer a question.
The man has been involved in a range of cases in the past with a number of parties,before a range of judges and registrars.
"Answer my question or I will have you removed,"Judge Vasta said at the end of a protracted and heated discussion about the man's application for an order that his employer hand over certain documents.
"I’m a self-represented applicant,your Honour,"the man said.
"Okay. Remove – please remove Mr[Michael] Gambaro from my court room because he is refusing to answer the questions of the court. Leave,"Judge Vasta replied.
