Dick. In one word NONE. They just collected invoices and cheque butt copies to prove I had engaged in the 'commerce' of photography* ( using an aircraft.)
Not only did the paperwork sleuths bullsh*t to the clients, on complaint they later lied to the Minister that they had never done so.
* It was a hit job involving a competitor company. ie Corruption and cronyism.

And to illustrate the mind set of the bastards in this dreadful 'organisation' after my initial court case, a round-robin email was sent to those involved in the successful 'hit', listing Fine totals.." For your amusement"
I kid you not.
Paul Phelan,(retd) the only serious and long tern investigative aviation journalist the country has ever had, who wrote articles about CAsA buggery, Reg 206, photography and etc, at first didnt believe that could be true.
I emailed him a copy.
As I keep saying, with the disgusting CAsA monolith... NOTHING will change until there is either a Royal Commission or Judicial Inquiry into the whole stinking mess
And the rot does go right to the top, and I have the proof after decades of FOI and etc.

Statements by OP GlenB regarding what CAsA has done are right on the money.
Its how CAsA were, are and always will be unless something can be done.
