The application was dismissed because the assessment committee acted within its statutory investigatory role: it was not obliged to begin its inquiry by applying clause 4.6 or to definitively analyse the specific racing rule before laying charges, and it was entitled to rely on the racing authority's finding and to operate under the s 40(3) requirement to advise only the general nature of the complaint.
