Quick Take

A mandatory minimum disqualification under s 78(3)(i) of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (Qld) runs from the date of sentencing and cannot be backdated to the commencement of an earlier licence suspension under s 79B, nor reduced by the period of that prior suspension.
