I appeared for Cr Ben Kunze of the City of Canning, the Applicant in Kunze and Local Government Standards Panel [2021] WASAT 159. The decision is here.

The Local Government Standards Panel had found that the Councillor had contravened reg 8 of the Regulations and thereby committed a minor breach. The Panel decided to order that the Councillor make a public apology at the City's next ordinary council meeting.

After the Tribunal hearing at which I appeared for the Councillor, the Tribunal set aside the Panel's order and substituted it with an order that no sanction be imposed.
