OUR EXPERIENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW INCLUDES:

Acting for a defendant in the Local Court of New South Wales regarding charges of violent disorder and excluded person remaining in the vicinity of a licensed premises. The defendant was charged with these offences during a 12 month good behaviour bond pursuant to section 10(1)(b) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW) for a previous offence. We successfully drafted representations to police which resulted in the prosecution withdrawing the violent disorder charge and the defendant pleading guilty to the excluded persons charge. We appeared at sentencing and successfully obtained orders that no action be taken with respect to the breach of the existing good behaviour bond, and that the defendant enter into another good behaviour bond for a term of 12 months pursuant to section 10(1)(b) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW).
Acting for a defendant in the Local Court of New South Wales regarding criminal tax offences pursuant to section 8C of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth), being failures to comply with requirements under taxation law by failing to furnish tax returns.
