Project No. 48

Commenced: 1973
Completed: 1979

Before any substantive work began on this reference, the Commission received a general reference to review the Justices Act 1902 (WA), which regulates the procedure of the Courts of Petty Sessions. Because the latter reference demanded a comprehensive review of the Courts of Petty Sessions, including the appeals process, a decision was taken to merge the two references. Project No. 48 therefore became Project No. 55(I).
