VIC Other Side Lawyer told Court about freshly laid criminal charges

[Telfer14]

I am involved in a pretty vigorous property settlement
I don't have any criminal record of any type , anywhere
However I was recently charged with two crimes of violence, I genuinely believe I just defended myself (intruder into my house)
There are no children with my former marital partner , so it is just a dispute over assets
The other side became aware of the recent charges, and their solicitor mentioned these charges to the Registrar at a recent mention hearing
So my question is , is this ethical or proper ?

I realize this is from a while ago, but I think it's worth considering whether these charges could impact your strategy or negotiations in the property case. Have you had a chance to consult with your lawyer about how best to address this in court? It might be beneficial to prepare an argument on the relevance, or lack thereof, of the charges.
