It seems from news reports this morning that NSW motorists who have been fined since 2001 may get their fines refunded because the Infringement Processing Bureau was apparently not given the power to issue fines. The case will end up in the Supreme Court before it is finally decided. The State Debt Recovery Office has taken over the task that The Infringement Processing Bureau had due to the problem related to the pending court case.
Its my bet that NSW Motorists wont see a cent of any fines they have copped since 2001. Can always hope I suppose. |

Quite please.
The issue will quite likely go to the High Court. The argument is that is that due process was not followed. Quote:

Pfft doesn't matter WHAT the courts decide, the government will bring in some law or rule or exception that means we won't see a cent.

Lol - administrative law... my favourite subject.
Yeah im not sure how things work at a state level but in federal matters in my line of work, the Act specifies who can and cannot issue infringements etc. However, said person can make a formal delegation (in the way of a legislative instrument) to delegate certain authorities down the line. Certainly worth keeping an eye on this one... in NSW.

The procedure of the current course of action would be administrative i imagine, has probably been to the ADJR and is being referred to high court single judge (which would most likley go to the full bench on appeal??). Im not sure if there's a seperate chain of command for state based matters... For motorists to get their hard earned back would require some sort of class action to be taken.... One thing's for sure - senior counsel will do well out of it
