Salvatore Vasta
Salvatore Vasta is a Federal Circuit and Family Coirt judge in Australia.
In 2018 Vasta made an order in a family law case that a child be “baptised as a Catholic”, despite neither parent seeking such an order, and the matter of baptism not being raised in substance during the hearing.
A 2019 family court full bench appeal against the decision overturned the order. [1]
His father was removed as a judge.[2]
In 2021 a man known as Mr Stradford successfully sued Vasta after he was imprisoned for contempt of court.
