The presumption against retrospectivity applies; the 1992 amendments to s.10(2) did not clearly operate retrospectively, so the Tribunal erred in imposing a post-amendment practising restriction and a fine exceeding the pre-amendment maximum; the fine was reduced to the pre-amendment maximum ($50,000) and the practising-certificate restriction revoked.
