I am contesting a speeding fine and went to court yesterday for the first mention. After a case conference where the cop basically told me I was wasting my time, I said I wanted to take it to a hearing. As the clerk could only organize an adjournment for another mention, I went back to the prosecuting cop for a hearing date and he discovered they had listed the wrong jurisdiction, i.e. it should be Moorabbin Magistrates Court and not Melbourne Magistrates Court, so yesterday was a complete waste of my time due to their mistake.
Is this grounds for having the speeding fines matter dismissed and if so, who would I apply to?
