Story time

Story time

The legal case I dealt with last night was PERINE fine. The story goes like this: a girl presented me a stack of vehicle fines (appro. 20), either parking fine or speedy fine, all are under her name. However, she did not infringe any of them; her mum did them. Unfortunately, the car was registered under her name. To make matters worse, her mum hided all these fine letters without paying any them off. So by the time this girl discovered all these letters, most of them were overdue or gone up to warrant stage. I can imagine that she must be living in a messy relationship with her mum that her mum keeps infringing driving regulations that makes her hold responsible. Mat (solicitor) paired up with me this time. His suggestion was to write another stat dic. to PERINE, requested for a list of fines, and then send another sworn statement to explain the whole situation. There will be two outcomes: PERINE refuses appeal, then she has to go to court; appeal is accepted, she has to go to centrelink for help to reduce the amount of fine payment.

The thought-provoking of this case is the number of fines her mum has got and the irresponsible manner towards her daughter. It is unusual for a normal person to infringe so many fines in a year’s time. There must be another family problem behind this absurd story.

I will soon be promoted to become the Wednesday night coordinator, sharing duty with another Mat. It is not an exclamatory thing. I have to admit that I still have many question marks in relation to legal and communications aspects. Anyhow, moving up is always a good things to be proud of.

Another deligent day of studying at Uni.
