CASE: Re Legal Practitioners Admissions Board and Sousa [2025] QSC 56

In 2023 Chanel Sousa had completed her law degree and was ready to become a lawyer. She applied to the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board to be admitted to the Roll of Legal Practitioners, to be able to practice law in Queensland.

Her application immediately hit a wall - Benjamin Millmann submitted an objection to Chanel’s admission.

The reasons behind his objection were odd to say the least and related to Millmann's past dealings with Chanel's domestic partner Senior Constable Seth Gilson.

Millmann had some unpleasant run-ins with law enforcement in the past and most recently with SC Gilson.

Millman turned the tables and HE investigated SC Gilson, in a manner which SC Gilson alleged was stalking.
