Summary
-
These cases concerned an appeal by the self-represented Applicant against convictions for driving over the prescribed speed limit on two separate occasions. In his notice of appeal for both convictions, the Applicant argued that the Magistrates who had handed down the convictions had erred in respect of section 35 of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld). Section 35 concerns the right to protection against retrospective criminal laws. During oral submissions in these proceedings, the Applicant abandoned this ground of appeal and the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) was not further mentioned in either of the proceedings.
