Basic Provisions of Law Helpful to All

by Andrew Symonds

The common man is not generally thorough with the legal provisions of road accidents to defend the case effectively. In some cases, the police may issue orders forfeiting the vehicles directly associated with the accident. The SA Supreme Court recently struck down the invalid provision of car forfeiture orders. In their opinion, the courts have little discretion to turn down the application of the police and the forfeiture would be a double whammy for the victim.

You are eligible for compensation in a hit and run accident case where the identity of the rogue driver is not established. If it is proven that in spite of 'due inquiry and search' the driver at fault cannot be ascertained, a claim for hit and run compensation can be filed against the 'Nominal Defendant'. The compensation is paid from the fund created under the Compulsory Third Party Insurance Scheme.

The answer to the question "Does a will have to be witnessed?", is very unambiguous. The Section 8 of the Wills Act clearly stipulates that the testator shall acknowledge the Will only when the Will duly signed by the owner of the property in the presence of at least two witnesses. This provision is obligatory to authenticate the will and to relieve the witnesses of their doubtful integrity.

In case of the violation of traffic rules, a ticket is served directing you to remit the 'on-the-spot-fine'. When you refuse to remit the fine, an expiation notice, lawyer issues in the proper format. This action of refusal implicitly conveys that you are ready for the prosecution at the court of law. In an exceptional case the notice can be withdrawn if the accident occurred in a humanitarian or safety reasons if you approach through a speeding ticket lawyer.

The South Australian government recently have substituted the extant Restraining Orders with the revised provisions as Intervention Order. When the person needs to be protected by the police, the culprit may get an Intervention Order for implementation without any delay. You can plead before the Magistrate for an amendment, modification or substitution or revocation altogether of the impugned order. There is no expiry period of the Intervention Order unless the same is revoked.

The question "when is a defendant awarded costs?" must be lurking in the minds of many. The Section 189 of the Summary Procedure Act, is made amply clear that the defendant is eligible for the award of the costs in the fit case as decided by the court. The Supreme Court further clarified that the court shall award the costs in all the cases to the successful defendant. Unless reasonable and sufficient reasons exist, the successful defendant is not denied the award.
