Facts
At all material times, the corporate accused was the registered operator of a heavy vehicle (‘the vehicle’). On six separate occasions, Authorised Officers of the NHVR detected the refrigerated van travelling on the M1 – Sydney-Newcastle Motorway failing to enter the Heavy Vehicle Safety Station. After each failure was detected, authorised officers sent a Notice to Produce to the registered owner of the vehicle, requesting the name and residential address of the driver of the vehicle. The registered operator was required to reply within 21 days from the date on each Notice. The NHVR did not receive any reply to the Notices to Produce. Authorised Officers then sent second Notices to Produce to the registered owner of the vehicle. The registered operator was required to reply within 14 days from the date on each Notice. The NHVR did not receive any reply to the second Notices to Produce. The matter was before the Parramatta Local Court on 23 June 2025. A defence lawyer appeared on behalf of the corporate accused and entered a plea of guilty to each of the six charges, and the matter was listed for sentence on 18 August 2025. On 18 August 2025, a conviction was recorded on all six charges, and the corporate accused was fined a total of $36,000. The Court considered the facts and the subjective circumstances offered on behalf of the corporate accused at the sentencing. The Court said that general deterrence was necessary and considered the principle of totality, and the purposes of sentencing under section 3A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999.
