Despite signing off on the sale, Yap claims Matic has since threatened to gatecrash her home opens and publicly advertise his anger over the transaction, forcing her to seek court restraints.

Matic has since been hit with two civil contempt convictions, one of which saw him slapped with Yap’s $16,000 legal bill.

But Bennett revealed Matic was still yet to pay the costs order.

Twelve months on, the court still has no information on Matic’s financial circumstances, but he claims to have been evicted from his residence and left without internet or email access.

Matic’s failure to arrive on Monday afternoon came as no surprise to those involved, given he had neglected to attend sentencing for his second civil contempt conviction just hours earlier.

The matter was adjourned in December in the hope Matic would take Solomon’s advice and lawyer up.

But with Matic nowhere to be found on Monday morning, Solomon postponed the sentencing and issued a warning that he attend or risk being arrested.

Bennett told the court Matic’s repeated refusal to front court was further evidence of the disdain the self-proclaimed sovereign citizen had for the court process, which warranted a serious penalty.

“This is about protecting the due administration of justice,” he said.

“A faction of society that treats individual rights as paramount and superior to the authority of the court is a threat to society; he is not a sole actor.

“These are not harmless, quirky views: they are harmful views.

“There have been multiple contempts and continued contempts.

“If they don’t respect the rule of law, then it is threatened.”

In December, WAtoday revealed Matic was at risk of losing his Joondanna property, with the Commonwealth Bank moving in to repossess it amid allegations he was $22,800 behind on his mortgage.

Matic is due to be sentenced for criminal contempt of court on Friday, with his second contempt charge to be dealt with on February 9.

Yap is considered one of the country’s best real estate agents, having sold 74 properties worth a combined $135 million in the past year alone.
