- Court
- High Court
The Standards Committee and LCRO acted in excess of jurisdiction and breached natural justice by failing to first identify and apply the correct legal regime for alleged pre-commencement conduct (the transitional provisions of the LCA and, where applicable, s 112 of the LPA) before deciding to take no further action; their decisions are set aside and the matter must be reconsidered under the correct legal framework.
