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?

Is this for civil remedies?

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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
