Young v Director of Public Prosecutions [2022] NSWSC 1397

Young v Director of Public Prosecutions [2022] NSWSC 1397

The proceeding should be removed to the Court of Appeal because judicial review of District Court decisions falls within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal, and neither party applied for removal, so the Court exercised its power of removal on its own motion.
