Case Study

Our client had an Intervention Order made against him, meaning he was automatically deemed a prohibited person under section 189 of the Firearms Act 1996. This means our client had to surrender any firearms licence they held and any firearms they possessed. Our client was part of a firearms target shooting club, and it was important to him that he continued to have his firearms licence.

We assisted our client to produce a sworn affidavit and supporting documents. At the hearing we made extensive submissions and successfully convinced the Magistrate to order our client be deemed a non-prohibited person. As a result, our client was able to apply for a firearms licence and be part of his firearms target shooting club.
