- High Court
The High Court held that the District Court did not err in law by taking discharges without conviction into account when assessing whether a taxi driver is a fit and proper person because the Land Transport Act 1998 expressly permits the Agency to consider underlying conduct and information from any source (ss 30C, 30D, 30G); and the additional discharge disclosed after the hearing was properly placed before the Judge and lawfully considered.
