Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated ActsIn a proceeding for an impounding order or a forfeiture order under this chapter, it is a defence for an owner of the vehicle to prove that the evasion offence happened without the knowledge and consent of the owner.
Example—A parent lends a motor vehicle to the parent’s child to visit friends and the child commits an evasion offence in the vehicle. If the relevant court is satisfied, on evidence tendered or submissions made by the parent, that the child committed the offence without the knowledge and consent of the parent, the court may refuse to order the impounding or forfeiture of the motor vehicle.
