Chris acted for a company that was charged with drive / permit heavy vehicle not comply with mass requirement. The maximum penalty for this offence is $63,150.00.
The company plead guilty and was subsequently listed for Sentence. Chris tendered an affidavit and made oral submissions as to the circumstances of offending and appropriate penalty.
Her Honour convicted the company and fined it $2,000.00.
This is a very pleasing result, having regard to the maximum penalty that could have been imposed.
