Corporate Statutory Prosecution
Wherever possible it is essential that companies who have been notified of a potential prosecution or investigation speak with experienced defence lawyers.
QBCC
The team at Coates Davey Solicitors have acted on behalf of QBCC licensees concerning the investigation and charges usually related to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 or Schedule 1B of Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991. These can include but are not limited to the following:
- The unlicensed or unlawful carrying out of building work.
- Failing to comply with a direction to rectify or remedy;
- Contracting with an unlicensed person or entity.
Should you or your company have been issued with any correspondence relating to an offence or investigation, contact Coates Davey Solicitors at your earliest convenience for a FREE, No-obligation Consultation. The fines issued by the QBCC can be substantial and every potential strategy to deliver the best possible outcome for you and your company.
AHPRA
If a concern has been raised in relation to your practice, AHPRA can take several courses during their investigation. Coates Davey Solicitors can provide full guidance and advice to ensure the best possible outcome for you. Possible actions that AHPRA includes but are not limited to the following:
- No grounds for complaint;
- No further action;
- Referral to another agency;
- Undertakings;
- Conditions;
- Caution;
- Suspension;
- Reprimand; and
- Cancellation of registration.
