Let me get this right...CASA get bagged for never acting and when they do some judge who does not know the pointy end from the blunt end over rules the decision!
CASA need power or they should join the ACCC.
The "some judge" in this matter obviously thought CASA didn't know the legal standard to be applied. He/she doesn't need to "know the pointy end from the blunt end", only the way in which law should be applied to fact, something the majority of posters on this thread have complained that CASA does not know how to do.
It used to be the case that CASA were able to take legal action through the AAT which is akin to shooting fish in a barrel. No rules of evidence or procedure, hearsay allowed, it was a plaintiffs version of parliamentary "coward's castle". Not sure whether they can still use the AAT but it appears that a defendant has to use the Federal Court where the rules of evidence and procedure are far more restrictive.
