In early September 1934 Parkes sought an injunction in the Court of Equity to stop 2UE from producing a new series called 'The Adventures of Bobby Filbert,' which she had no part in and which she also claimed characters that she invented outside her contractual obligations. Although still employed by the station at the time 2UE's actions may have been in part an attempt to end their association after she had been publicly identified as the other woman in a divorce case initiated by the wife of recently sacked employee Lionel Lunn. Although Parkes was not awarded the injunction she later proceeded with a law suit against 2UE Sydney Ltd that ended with her being granted an undisclosed settlement. Lunn also successfully sued the station and the pair subsequently worked for a number of years as sketch artists at 2FC and later 2GB.
