Penalties Significantly Reduced Due to Border Force Delay in Issuing Penalties

Millicent Dooher, barrister, successfully represented this company at a Civil Penalty Appeal hearing following the discovery of Clandestine Entrants on 3 separate occasions. The substantive issue was the excessive amount of time it had taken for Border Force to issue penalties following the discovery of the Clandestine entrants. It had taken Border Force over 2 years to issue these penalties.

Millicent was able to persuade the Judge to substantially reduce these penalties by 40% in total. The Company were also successful in claiming back their costs.
