Quick Take

The one-year limitation period in s 225(1) of the Property Occupations Act 2014 (Qld) does not apply to proceedings for indictable offences under that Act, whether commenced summarily or on indictment. Section 225(2) is the sole provision governing the commencement of proceedings for indictable offences, and it contains no time limitation.
