I'm a total legalese dyslexic, trying to read CAsA's reg's gives me an instant migraine and my eye's start to water, but wasn't there a case in the federal court in Perth some years ago brought against CAsA for alleged malfeasance, where the judge ruled CAsA could do anything they wanted and were therefore unaccountable? or did I read that all wrong.
You did read that all wrong.

The very fact that CASA was a party to the proceedings in the first place shows that, as is plainly stated in section 8(2)(c) of the CA Act, CASA can be sued. The claim of malfeasance in that case, as with the other claims that were made, were found by the Court not to have been proved.
