Court of Appeal Recommends Law Reform
Sunday 7th Nov 2010
The Queensland Court of Appeal has recommended that the Queensland Government swiftly implement legislative and administrative reform that ensures appropriate diversion for people with disabilities charged summarily.
"We welcome the judgement of the Court in the matter of Avery of which we've long been involved. It completely supports recommendations that we have lobbied for," said Director Dan Toombs.
"We now hope that this judgement will act as a catalyst to break the back of a system that predisposes people with chronic disabilities charged with summary offences pleading guilty where they may have either a defence or be considered unfit for trial."
