COR laws may be toughened in wake of failed Graincorp prosecution

NSW has launched a review into chain of responsibility laws to determine if they need to be urgently strengthened in the wake of the failed Graincorp prosecution. Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport David Borger says the Road Freight Advisory Council raised concerns last week the Supreme Court ruling in favour of Graincorp could undermine the laws.

The Supreme Court last week dismissed an appeal by the RTA that Graincorp should be held accountable for overloading offences in 2005.

The Government plans to complete the review before Christmas to determine if the laws are tough enough.
