Litigation History

EventCitation or FileDateNotes
Primary Judgment(No citation)28 May 2010Thiess brought an application to strike out a complaint and summons brought against it in the Industrial Magistrates Court in respect of a work place death. Application dismissed and amendment of the complaint and summons was permitted to allow two charges rather than two alternative charges to be pressed: Industrial Magistrate Lee.
Primary Judgment[2011] ICQ 1012 Apr 2011The Industrial Magistrate was right to exercise the power to amend the complaint under s 48 of the Justices Act by deleting the words “In the alternative”, instead of striking out the complaint. Appeal dismissed: D.R. Hall, President, Industrial Court.
Primary Judgment[2011] QSC 294 [2012] 2 Qd R 38713 Oct 2011Application for judicial review of [2011] ICQ 10. Declaration that with respect to the amended Complaint of Adam John Low dated 27 November 2009, that s 43 of the Justices Act does not authorise two matters of complaint to be pleaded in the alternative. A declaration, with respect to the same complaint that s 48 of the Justices Act does not authorise, by way of amendment, the removal of the words “in the alternative” from the said amended Complaint: Applegarth J.
Primary Judgment(No citation)30 May 2012Thiess again applied to the Industrial Magistrates Court for an order that the amended complaint be struck out. It submitted that as the words “in the alternative” were not ‘joined’ within the meaning of s 43 of the Act, the complaint could not properly be amended pursuant to s 48 the Act. As there was nothing in the Act that otherwise gave the third respondent the ability to cure the defect, the complaint should be struck out. Application dismissed: Industrial Magistrate Elizabeth Hall.
Primary Judgment[2012] ICQ 2219 Oct 2012Appeal from Industrial Magistrate's decision dated 30 May 2012. Appeal dismissed on the basis the Industrial Magistrates Court had an implied power to act on the prosecutor’s election by striking out the charge on which the complainant elected not to proceed: D.R. Hall, President, Industrial Court.
