Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the defects in other people's characters.

Case summary: Wonderland was a busy adventure theme park, The Park attracted bus many tourists. At least 30 buses a day would arrive; all disgorging tourists who were wealthy and spent a large avg per person.

Local Council had passed a by-law that charged businesses in the Council’s jurisdiction with a ‘Bus Road Use Fee’. A business was required to pay the Council $20 per bus carrying tourists arriving specifically at a business premises. The purpose of the fee was to assist in road maintenance throughout the Council’s district.

Wonderland paid the fees for each bus arrival over a period of two years. Wonderland factored the fee in its pricing for its entrance fees.

Nameless person, the daughter of the CEO of Wonderland, had recently graduated from law school. She discovered that Wonderland paid these fees to the Council. She was suspicious that the payment was wrong. Through her diligent research, she discovered that the Greedy Council was ultra vires in passing the ‘Bus Road Use Fee’ by-law.

Wonderland have decided to take the Council to task for demanding the payments made for each bus arrival.

Advise on the liklyhood of success and what recompense if any might the company receive?

please explain some terms for me matty... ultra vires?

but from what i can tell, since wonderland has already factored the the extra expence into admission prices they have been passing the brunt of the cost onto the paying patrons, so for them to have a case they will have to inform all affected priviouse customers, they really dont have a case cos they didnt bear the brunt of the cost bu instead passed it onto the customers, the resulting could actually mean they have to lower their admistion fee as the council will not be able to apply the tax...

well that how i see it lol buit i dont really know the leagal system....

Wrong, but good effort :P It's all to do with unjust enrichment...the customers have nothing to do with it as they paid the admission price to Wonderland and didn't pay any fee to the council directly. The fee was payed by Wonderland hence why they are suing.

Jade said find the answer to this :P

Remedies -Tutorial 7, Week 8

Reading: Covell & Lupton, Chapter 4

Question 1

a) Sparks Electrical Pty Ltd [sparks] manufactured electronic components for aeroplanes. Sparks employed 120 workers. Of these, 20 were experts in their field. The experts were not on the Sparks’ payroll as they were independent contractors. They billed Sparks for their services. The contractors did, however, work on the Sparks’ premises.

Greedy Local Council had passed a by-law that charged businesses in the Council’s jurisdiction with an “Use Road Fee”. The manufacturer or business was required to pay the Council $1000 per annum for each worker that attended the business premises. The purpose of the fee was to assist in road maintenance throughout the Council’s district.

Sparks paid the fees for its 120 workers over a period of five years. Bright Spark, the director’s daughter, had recently graduated from law school. She discovered that Sparks paid this fee to the Council. She was suspicious that the payment was wrong. Bright also learned that 20 of the workers were not “workers” as defined by the Council’s by-law. The by-law defined a worker as an emloyee of the company. Because the contractors were true independent contractors they would be exempted from the by-law.

Bright and the Company decided to take the Council to task for taking the payments made for the independent contractors. Will she succeed? What recompense might she recover for the company?

b) Through her diligent research, Bright discovered that the Greedy Council was ultra vires in making the “Use Road Fee” by-law. Does this make any difference to her case?

this is the big question I have no f*ckin idea how to answer....3000 words on this....

“Nowhere under Queensland law is the age-old tension between ‘principle, policy and rule’ better illustrated than in its approach to police powers over individuals”

Billy Billshut, prospective Liberal candidate for the State seat of Bundamindah, 14 January 2007.

Do you agree with the suggestion that ‘police powers over individuals’ provide a fertile source of material for a study of the “policy, principle, rule” trilogy? Illustrate your answer with copious numbers of examples.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
