Prestige and Rich Pty Ltd v McGregor

Prestige and Rich Pty Ltd appealed against their conviction, penalty, and costs order to the Queensland Magistrates Court. They were convicted under section 28(2)(a) of the Agents Financial Administration Act 2014. Prestige and Rich contended that the interpretation of Division 5 of the Act was incorrect, and that they were not required to immediately pay the amount under section 28(2)(a). They also claimed that they were denied procedural fairness, and that the fine was manifestly excessive. Additionally, they argued that the Magistrate erred in the quantum of the costs order. The court was required to determine whether the interpretation of Division 5 of the Agents Financial Administration Act 2014 was correct, whether the appellant was denied procedural fairness, whether the fine was manifestly excessive, and whether the Magistrate erred in the quantum of the costs order. The court found that the interpretation of Division 5 of the Agents Financial Administration Act 2014 was correct, and that the appellant was not denied procedural fairness. The court also found that the fine was not manifestly excessive, and that the Magistrate did not err in the quantum of the costs order. The appeal was dismissed, and the appellant was ordered to pay the respondent's costs in the amount of $3287.00 within 28 days to the Registrar to be paid to the respondent.
