Douglas and Tormey Found Guilty of tubing on Inter night but 4yrs later set aside

925 days and although disqualified they have served no time except for delays between stays
They continue to win races and make one question the integrity in harness racing
assisted by trainers and owners who do not care and still support them

I will update the count until we have a conclusion
For details see the following thread

http://www.harnessracingforum.com/sh...Tormey-charged

post 36 states their disqualification

Of course we know that Mr Asbestos has done worse and only received 6mths for that

4 winners to the Disqualified one last night

Ah, the tube-ee not the tube-ee.

Julie Douglas must be an easy going person.

Thread title amended as now (22/04/21) 874 days

From the Supreme Court

Conclusion
82 Leave to appeal should be granted and the appeal allowed. In place of the
orders of the primary judge, the appeal to the Trial Division should be allowed and
the decision of VCAT that it lacked jurisdiction should be set aside. We will hear the
parties as to costs.

And so it continues, skimmed the 27 page ruling - you're a better person than me if you can be bothered doing more

Read it all and it sounds like a duty statement for a legal clerk. Spend a few months trolling for legal precedents, take a months animal leave and start again.

I read the ruling, but it defeated me.
Could someone more skilled with legalese explain what this means for the parties involved now please?

Noel, it means that they can appeal their disqualifications to VCAT so who knows how long the wait for that may be

901 days ( 19/05/21) and still going, with the latest development I reckon we will get to 1,000

Glenn must have 'mended some fences' ;) with Julie as he is back as the main driver lately

915 days (5/06/21)
