Offences under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) are prosecuted in the criminal jurisdiction, and a prosecution can have major impacts on a company and its executives. Experienced criminal defence representation is crucial.
Since the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) took over delivery of heavy vehicle regulatory services in Queensland, Safety and Compliance Officers conduct on-road compliance and enforcement across the state. We have extensive experience advising and representing individuals and corporate entities charged with duty-based offences.
The Chain of Responsibility extends heavy vehicle road safety to parties other than drivers. It captures everyone who works with heavy vehicles or is accountable for the safety of the vehicle, its driver and its load. Importantly, being a party is based on the function you perform, not your job title or the wording of a contract.
We appreciate the importance of achieving timely outcomes, and we work to resolve matters with minimal disruption to your operations.
