Big Jim Byrnes hits the road after big pay day from Virginia Nemeth

Date August 4, 2014 - 12:41AM CBDColin Kruger
After years of legal battle - which involved fronting the courts with some delicate war wounds - "Big Jim" Byrnes has finally collected on one of his most combative litigation funding deals.
Big Jim, disgraced former detective Roger Rogerson and bikie boss Felix Lyle, featured in the colourful case that started with afternoon tea in 2009 at the home of Sydney businesswoman Virginia Nemeth. She hired the persuasive crew to extract better terms from her divorce settlement having rejected an $8 million pay-out plus, the Darling Point mansion she called home.  ................
.........So, she went into battle against Byrnes over the litigation funding contract claiming she had been exploit.
.........Byrnes is no stranger to the legal arena. He was jailed for the deemed supply of heroin in the 1980s, banned twice by ASIC, and convicted over his use of a baseball bat to negotiate terms with a Sydney solicitor via the solicitor's office window.
After another recent loss in the NSW Court of Appeal, Nemeth's latest legal help confirmed that she has brought the matter to a close rather than appealing to the High Court.
Byrnes has received his loot and is believed to be overseas at the moment.
