APBT Club of Aust Inc. Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I wish to assist dog owners that have had a dog declared a "Restricted Breed Dog" since 30th September 2011 and that are challenging their councils declaration at VCAT. I am seeing too many dog owners turn up to defend their beloved four legged friend/s only to come up against Council Barristers and solicitors. Dog owners are told that vcat is informal and that no legal representation is necessary only to be confronted with ratepayer funded barristers and solicitors acting for council. Not to mention a multitude of council staff in attendance as well. For example: one council 4 staff a barrister and a solicitor as well as council witnesses against an unsuspecting, unrepresented dog owner. Hardly procedural fairness!

GeckoTree Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think it should be let known on this site how many are now winning in the supreme court in VIC. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Only two have gone to the supreme court and both have won so far. I flew down to sit in on the hearing and it was very interesting. The magistrate also ruled that must meet the standard significantly or to a high level to be considered a pit bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmwvic Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Great result in the Supreme Court. Both dogs (one with puppies) now home for Christmas. Another dog's Supreme Court Appeal allowed on basis of previous Supreme Court finding. At this stage Rocket is heading back to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for another review. Hopefully Council involved will see sense and send this dog home also! For more info see http://www.facebook.com/DogsOnTrialDOTVictoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
