**** U.S. LAW ONLY - PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR STATE BECAUSE LAWS VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.****

Yes, you do deserve compensation due to the Kangaroo Court.

Ah, yes. The old Aussie court system. Puts a whole new meaning to:

"Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde,
And that's it hanging on the shed.
Altogether now!"
