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.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
