Thumbs down CASA get it wrong. Again!

I understand (second hand) that the CASA prosecution (perhaps that should be "persecution" given the events of the past couple of months) against a certain well-know Victorian man for an incident in South Australia has collapsed miserably with some very harsh words from the Bench about the standard of the CASA officers concerned.

I also understand that the individual is pursuing legal action against the CASA officers involved. It will be really interesting to see the outcome of those. I suggest that if he is successful then CASA may find it very hard to get any FOI to take regulatory action unless some form of indemnity is in place.

I have heard that much is to be made of the case in the media. Should be interesting to see the damage control.

Edited to correct State of origin.
