Q 2. Children's Court needs to explain why teen granted bail over alleged police attack, Minister says Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville has criticised a Children's Court over its decision to grant bail to a teenager who allegedly assaulted a police officer.
The 17-year-old was on parole at the time of the alleged attack at Highpoint Shopping Centre, in Melbourne's west, on Boxing Day. Ms Neville said the courts should have listened to police on the matter.
"They opposed strongly this person getting bail and the courts need to explain how on Earth they could make a decision so contrary to what police view was," she said.
She called on the courts to explain the decision.
"I respect the independence of the court, and it's a fundamental part of our democracy, but you want that independence, if you believe strongly in your decision making, it's incumbent on you to share that information," she said. "Just like I have to justify decisions I make, so too should the courts back to the community.
What is your opinion of the statement above? Is there any issue with governments criticising judges, court decisions or sentences imposed by courts?
Q: 3. The Torrens System is the preferred method of title registration in Victoria. Discuss this statement.
Q: 4. A client is getting a new side fence and discovers that the old fence which is 17 years old is not in the correct place according to the title. Their fence line is misaligned with the title boundary (6 inches x 150 feet in total area) in their favour. The neighbours want it replaced and back to where it should be according to the title.
Your client has built a garage on the boundary and is requiring advise. They are concerned that the matter is getting ugly and it is affecting their relationship with their neighbour which is long standing.
You need to explain the relevant law and where they stand. Explain the difference between ownership and possession. (That is land defined by title versus land possessed.)
Also advise them who they need to engage before they make a claim or try and settle the matter.
You also need to advise them of any other possible solutions to solve this issue.
