25.01.2022 Possessing a knife in a public place or school is a crime under section 11C of the Summary Offences Act 1988 which carries a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison and/or a fine of $2,200. To establish the offence, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant: 1. Possessed a knife, and 2. Did so in a public place or school.... A ‘knife’ includes a knife blade, a razor blade, and any other blade. The law also says that the person in possession is required to prove that ‘reasonable excuse’ on the balance of probabilities. However, it is not a reasonable excise to have a knife solely for the purpose of self-defence or the defence of another person. A reasonable excuse may be that you need the knife for work, for preparation of food in a public area, for recreational and entertainment purposes or for religious purposes. It is illegal to sell a knife to a person under the age of 16. If you are found in possession of a knife, and you have a reasonable excuse, it may be a good idea to state the excuse to police as this might prevent you from being charged or if you are charged be used to have the case dropped shortly afterwards. If you are being faced with a criminal charge, please call Anderson Boemi Lawyers on (02) 9653 9466 to arrange a consultation with an experienced criminal lawyer.

25.01.2022 REMINDER: Double demerits will be in place from 12.01am on Friday, October 2 to 11.59pm on Monday October 5.

25.01.2022 Can you be fined for swearing? Offensive language is an offence under section 4A of the Summary Offences Act 1988, which prescribes a maximum penalty of a $600 or a community correction order that may be subject to a community work condition of up to 100 hours for any person who uses offensive language in or near, or within hearing from, a public place or a school. In the classic 1951 Victorian Supreme Court case of Worcester v Smith, Justice O’Bryan found that something is... offensive if it is, calculated to wound the feelings, arouse anger or resentment or disgust in the mind of a reasonable person. Looking back through the ages, language evolves, and the meaning and effect of language is constantly changing. The offensiveness of a particular statement or word can only be defined by the power that we as individuals give it, and something that is offensive to one person, may not necessarily be offensive to another. If you or someone you know requires legal advice in respect to any criminal offence, please do not hesitate to telephone our office (02) 9653 0466.

19.01.2022 On the 16th day of Christmas... While this festive season is often looked at as a time of being close to family and friends, thousands of children and families in Australia are battling tough times. This Christmas, we are giving hope back to our local community. ... Your support is appreciated more than ever. We are accepting donations for our Dural Charity Drive until 5:00pm on Monday 21 December.

19.01.2022 Did you know a toot of the horn and a wave goodbye out of the window as you drive down the street could cost you almost $600.00 and three demerit points in NSW - $298.00 for the illegal use of a warning device and a further $298.00 fine (and three demerit points) for having a limb protrude from the car. Have a different road rule you’d like us to post about? Comment below!

19.01.2022 They say numbers don’t lie, remember to spend within your means this Christmas season. Your credit card bill might suggest that you had a lot more fun during the holidays than you actually did!

18.01.2022 Supplying a prohibited plant is an offence under section 23(1) of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985 (NSW) (‘the Act’). To establish the offence, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person: (a) cultivates, or knowingly takes part in the cultivation of, a prohibited plant,... (b) supplies, or knowingly takes part in the supply of, a prohibited plant, or (c) has a prohibited plant in their possession. Section 29 of the Act enables a person to be found guilty of drug supply if they are found to be in possession of at least a ‘trafficable’ quantity of prohibited drugs, even if there is no evidence they actually took part in drug supply. In these cases, the law deems that the person has possession of the drug for the purpose of supply unless they satisfy the court to the contrary (which is the reversal of the usual onus of proof). The maximum penalty for drug supply depends on the type of drug, the quantity, and the court in which the matter is finalised. The penalties are severe and include 20 years imprisonment. If you are facing court over allegations of supplying a prohibited plant, please call Anderson Boemi Lawyers on (02) 9653 9466 to speak with a criminal defence lawyer who has the knowledge, specialisation and experience to achieve the optimal outcome.

16.01.2022 Sexual harassment is any unwanted or unwelcome sexual type behaviour which makes a person feel offended, humiliated, or intimidated. Sexual harassment may include physical or verbal acts such as inappropriate advances, intrusive questions, inappropriate comments, staring, touching, sexually explicit messages, requests for sex or unwanted date requests, physical assault, indecent exposure, or stalking. Many sexual harassment cases occur in the workplace. In 2018-2019, 25% of A...ustralian Human Rights Commission complaints were sex related and 73% of those occurred in the workplace. However, sexual harassment can happen in public and private settings including school, university, sports teams, online or over the phone. If you, or someone you know have experienced sexual harassment, you should seek legal advice. There are time limits for making a claim for sexual harassment or abuse, so it is important that you seek advice at the earliest opportunity. The applicable time limit will depend on your particular circumstances and the type of claim to be made. As some time limits can be extended, even if you think the relevant time limit has passed, you should still get advice. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at work.

16.01.2022 On the 15th day of Christmas my lawyer told me to Protect yourself on the roads this holiday season.

Please call our office should you require legal advice with respect to any traffic matters 9653 9466.

14.01.2022 Thank you SALT Cafe for making our Employee Appreciation Day even sweeter

14.01.2022 Along with making a Will, the appointment of an Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian is a very important part of any Estate Plan. It is a common misconception that these documents are only for the elderly. It is recommended that anyone over the age of 18 years (that has the mental capacity to do so) considers putting these documents in place. An enduring power of attorney is a legal document that lets you appoint someone to make decisions about legal or financial... matters. This person is called an attorney. The power endures - or continues - if and when you lose the capacity to make decisions. The appointment of an Enduring Guardian gives another person, or persons, the authority to make lifestyle and medical decisions on your behalf. These decisions may, for example, concern your place of residence, access to medical care and/or providing consent for the refusal of medical treatment. These appointments allow you to nominate a person, or persons, to make important decisions on your behalf in the event that you lose capacity. As any person may suffer a brain illness or injury at any time, it is strongly advised that you make these appointments while you can. This ensures that those decisions will be made by persons that you know and trust, and who will have your best interests at heart. Once you have lost capacity, it is too late to appoint an Enduring Power of Attorney and/or Enduring Guardian. Contact our Estate Planning Team today on (02) 9653 9466 for advice regarding the appointment of an Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian.

13.01.2022 Just a note of appreciation to the NSW Police Force, thank you for your service and sacrifice for our community. Our definition of a hero is someone who protects our world and continues to make it a better place, despite having to see its darkest aspects every day. Our Police Force courageously put on their badge each day and sacrifices more daily than most do in an entire lifetime. We see you, We appreciate you,... Thank you, Police Force, for all you do!

13.01.2022 Do you know your road rules? Who must give way in a Zip Merge? Vote below! blue car... orange car

12.01.2022 Commonly we get asked "How will I know when my marriage is over? When is enough enough?". This question generally does not come out of the blue, but rather from... someone that has been contemplating separation for some time. My response to this question is commonly "one day, you will wake up and something will happen to make you say to yourself "enough is enough". The trigger on that day, will not necessarily be something major, and the littlest of things may be what finally makes you decide that "today is the day", it is the little thing that comes after years of arguments, low moments outweighing the highs, and feeling that you are doing all on your own." Yes, those first days and months of being separated are overwhelming, but not anymore overwhelming than being in an unhappy or abusive relationship? Step 1 to finding your freedom is taking that first step! If you or anyone you know needs family law advice please call either Chris Kearney or Marissa Boemi on 9653 9466.

12.01.2022 New delivery location Thank you to V J Tait & Associates for joining our charity drive drop off location points! For all donation enquiries, please call our office on 9653 9466.

11.01.2022 Throwback to the CEO Sleepout last Thursday at the Anderson Boemi carpark! A big thanks to Ben from Guardian Realty for being our auctioneer. Here’s a glimpse of some of the luxury items he was auctioning off

07.01.2022 Morning all... thank you for all those that participated last night in the DURAL winter sleep out COVID-19 style. So far we have raised $14,150. Last minute don...ations are welcome. Also a special thank you to those who bought and re-bought auction items.... especially those participants who bid against themselves!!! https://www.ceosleepout.org.au//duralwintersleepoutcovid19

07.01.2022 To walk or not to walk... that is the question. Most people would think it is common sense to cross the road while the pedestrian light is green, but jaywalking remains a contentious law. In NSW, pedestrians can be fined $75.00 on the spot if they cross the road against a flashing red signal or if they cross within 20 metres of a marked crossing. You can also get booked if you fail to show reasonable regard for other road users, such as walking in the middle of a breakdown l...ane. Sometimes patience is a virtue! Should you require legal advice with respect to any traffic offence, please call our office on 9653 9466.

06.01.2022 Anderson Boemi Lawyers are thinking of the people impacted by the devastation in Lebanon. Scientists estimate that the explosion was equal to about 3 kilometres of TNT. About 1 fifth of the little boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during WWII. If you would like to donate to help Lebanon, please see the below link:

06.01.2022 Get behind a great cause! ABL is excited to announce that we are hosting our very first Christmas charity drive for the local community to get behind. Drop your items off to our office or to any of the soon-to-be announced locations in Round Corner Shopping Centre. For any donation enquiries, please call our office on 9653 9466.

05.01.2022 Accidental matching shirt day Who wore it better?

04.01.2022 On the 24th day of Christmas ABL told me to... SLOW DOWN! Double Demerits are in force from today Thursday 24 December to 3 Sunday January (inclusive). Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

03.01.2022 A COVID-19 friendly message from our Mr Warwick Anderson

03.01.2022 On the 20th day of Christmas my lawyer told me to read everything before I sign it. A lot of the time people are ripped-off because they don’t realise the effect of what they are signing. Please contact our office on 9653 9466 for all enquiries with respect to reviewing documents to protect yourself.

03.01.2022 There is no specific Road Rule in NSW that states that you are not allowed to dip (flash) your lights to warn other road users that the police are ahead. However, you could receive an infringement if a police officer was to allege that while you were warning another driver, you are also likely to dazzle them. NSW Road Rule 219 states a driver must not use, or allow to be used, any light fitted to or in the driver’s vehicle to dazzle, or in a way that is likely to dazzle, anot...her road user. This type of offence can attract 1 demerit point and a $110 fine. So, it seems that it is not illegal to warn your fellow road users about the presence of an imminent speed camera or undercover police by flashing your headlights. Nonetheless, you should be cautious about whether you choose to do so because dazzling other drivers or flashing your high beams to an ongoing vehicle within 200 meters may still attract a fine. Safe driving! Contact our office on (02) 9653 9466 to speak with one of our experienced traffic lawyers.

02.01.2022 Holders of an unrestricted driver licence in New South Wales may elect to obtain a good behaviour licence rather than serve out their driver licence suspensions. Section 36 of the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW) provides a mechanism whereby full licence holders who have exceeded their demerit point limit may apply for a good behaviour licence for a period of 12 months instead of being suspended from driving. To be eligible for a good behaviour licence, you must:... - Hold a full driver licence; - Have exceeded your demerit point limit; - Not have commenced your period suspension; and - Apply through RMS. A good behaviour licence lasts for 12 months. If you accrue two or more demerit points while you’re on a good behaviour licence, you’ll be suspended from driving for twice the period of your original suspension. Should you require expert legal advice regarding your licence, call Anderson Boemi Lawyers on (02) 9653 9466 to arrange a consultation with an experienced traffic lawyer.

01.01.2022 Anderson Boemi Lawyers pleased to participate in Jersey Day on Friday 4th September 2020.
