Legal Briefcase
Australian Law. Is it possible to appeal against a conviction on grounds of ignorance & non-intent?
10 years ago airport customs found a 100g piece of cheese in my briefcase that I had forgotten I had put in there. I was charged under the AQIS act etc. Appeared in court fined and got a conviction. Yes it was ONLY a piece of cheese, but dairy is one of the most prohibited of all foods.
Can I appeal to the court , to have my conviction stricken? How would I go about it ?
My argument is that is hardly a crime, much less of wilful intent. I paid the price and learnt my lesson, it cost me $1500 all up in court / legal fees. Why should I have this conviction for the rest of my life.
I cannot afford a lawyer at this stage.
Laughter, thanks I'll explore those avenues.
The time to appeal has long since passed. There are other courses, but they are difficult and expensive, such as applying for a pardon. You could also look into a motion to withdraw your guilty plea, but that would depend upon local law and local procedure.
