Adelaide University Act 2023

An offence against a by‑law is a summary offence.

A by‑law may provide for proceedings against students or staff of the University in respect of breaches of the by‑laws.

An allegation in a complaint that a specified place is within University grounds will be taken to be proved in the absence of proof to the contrary.

In proceedings for an offence against a by‑law dealing with the use, driving, parking or standing of vehicles—

an allegation in a complaint that a person named in the complaint was the owner or driver of a specified vehicle on a specified day will be taken to be proved in the absence of proof to the contrary; and

if it is proved that a vehicle was parked in contravention of a by‑law it will be presumed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that the vehicle was so parked by the owner of the vehicle.

Despite a provision of any other Act—

a fine recovered in respect of an offence against a by‑law; and

an expiation fee paid in relation to an expiation notice issued for an alleged offence against a by‑law, will be paid to the University.

If an act or omission is an offence against another Act and a by‑law, the offender may be charged or punished either under the Act or by‑law, but not under both.
